So the hotels are guaranteeing their guest's safety? Because if I was robbed while staying at one after this, I'd sue the dogshit out of them.

I gave him a description of vehicle seen through door viewer - he remembered seeing it and told us he would keep an eye out.
ReplyDeleteI normally take a handgun, and sometimes a pump shotgun that fits a duffel bag (pistol grip only). We had arrived via Am Trak that day, the first time we had traveled using them (too far to drive with small kids) so unsure if firearms were possible, I decided not to go out with defensive arms that trip.
