Traveling cross country with firearms in the car

[DES365]

If you plan to stay at any motel/hotel along the way, don't leave them overnight in your vehicle, too easy to have them stolen. Keep them in the room with you since your traveling in a vehicle with no trunk.

just be discrete about carrying them into your room, someone might call 911 on you or think your room would make a nice target if you step out.

This, and never leave them unattended in the hotel room while you go to eat. I knew a couple who had 4 Glocks stolen this way. Tranport them in a non gun looking case. I use an old samsonite hard case. If you have any gun or outdoor stickers on your truck, scrap 'em off now. Get a prop bar for the door. You can buy one, or make one yourself to slow down people working with hotel clerks who make them access card keys.

I've thought ahead regarding this and there's no way in hell I'm leaving anything unattended. I also figured a long time ago that it was a bad idea to have any NRA stickers or anything else gun related stuck to the car. I'm a proud member but that's pretty much advertisement that you have a car with a gun in it.
