This is how you keep a gun in a hotel room: in a holster, unchambered and facing the outside wall. You do not clean it in a hotel room. That is all.

Might not be a bad idea to open the slide and take the mag out, either.

Unless it somehow slides itself back, it’s not getting chambered. Also, I’m at a shitty Days Inn. The mag stays with the gun.

I know, but I’m firmly in the “logic be damned, you can’t take too many precautions with a firearm” camp.

It’s fine. There are no children here, and if someone comes in, it’s because they broke down the door.

Why in the world would you leave a striker-fired, double action Glock unchambered? It’s not some 1850s single-action revolver where the firing pin rests on the round, there are like 4 safety layers built in...

Bah, I say.

The only time my carry piece goes “unchambered” is right after I drop the mag and clear the chamber so I can clean it.

Edit: I bet that is an uncle mike’s universal holster too LOL.

I’m not trying to criticize you! Sorry, I didn’t mean that with my first post, it was unclear, I just meant in general.

Hey “champ”, a round does not and can not chamber itself under any circumstances.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > samssun
04/27/2016 at 21:56

Lol, it has one safety, and it’s a trigger one. A child with a broken finger could pull back on it. I do it out of habit because my sister is a dumbass. She is old enough to know better, but if she does pick it up, I don’t want it going off. But now that I have a CWP, that’s not a problem.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > whoarder is tellurium

I have a dumbass in the house, not a child, but a dumbass.

CounterTorqueSteer > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies

It also has a firing pin block safety.

Totally inappropriate and appropriate at the same time. STAR!

I agree I’d never clean my firearm in a hotel (why wouldn’t I clean it immediately after the range?) but there’s no reason I’d be leaving it unchambered. I’m guessing there’s at least a slide safety, trick trigger safety and possibly a grip safety as well. And for the aiming at the outside wall if it’s being carried as a personal defense piece then it’s more likely than not loaded with hollow points which are designed to expand on impact and not pierce the perp + the wall behind it.

Children should not have assault rifles, better a crew served weapon.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > nFamousCJ - Keeper of Stringbean, Gengars and a Deezul
04/27/2016 at 22:18

Just a trigger safety, which is one reason I unchamber it out of habit.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > CounterTorqueSteer
04/27/2016 at 22:20

Still, it’s not firing unless the trigger is pulled, but that’s also how you disengage the safeties.

As long as the children can count up to 10 and know how to head space/time an M2.

Unchambered? I’ll pass on that part, but the rest is good.

Who cleans their gun in a hotel anyways?

Another pro tip: always take your gun(s) in with you, don’t leave them in your car, overnight, in an unknown area. Hotel parking lots are ripe for break ins.

Hey now, that’s a submachine gun, not an assault rifle. Don’t try to talk about guns if you don’t know anything about them.

of you were cleaning it wouldn;t step 1 be take the bullets out? (never owned/shot a gun so I dont know, its just seems like the logical thing)

Big Bubba Ray > His Stigness
04/27/2016 at 22:56

It means that there is no bullet in the chamber. As in: if he pulled the trigger, nothing would happen.

On a double-action “semiautomatic” pistol it means there is no cartridge in the breech or “chamber” ready to be fired. Therefore pulling the trigger won’t fire the gun. To load the first round from the magazine you need to manually “rack” the gun by pulling the slide back. This chambers the first round out of the magazine, and then a pull of the trigger cocks the firing pin and fires the gun. The action then ejects the case and chambers the next round from the magazine so that it is ready to fire with each trigger pull until the magazine is empty.

Also not with one in the chamber and in the backseat with your 2yo.

Glock’s safe action system actually has three safeties, you just see the trigger one on the outside. Not a traditional safety but better protection against accidental discharge.

04/27/2016 at 23:12

Yeah, I was going to say something similar, depends on your environment.

Not 100% sure on what glock that is, but I have the same holster for my 19.

whats cleaning a gun?

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > OPPOsaurus WRX

Yes, that should be the procedure, but apparently tons of people don’t know that.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > M54B30
04/28/2016 at 07:44

I definitely wasn’t leaving it outside

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Jake Huitt - Two Alfas And A Nissan, Not A Single Running Car

This is just a temp holster, until I get a slim one.

Cleaning residue out of the bore of your gun, and making sure the firing parts aren’t crusted with residue as well.

sounds like the type of person who would try to get a stuck piece of toast out of the toaster and unplug the thing after they stick the fork in it

I was in San Antonio for work and staying at a nice hotel on the “good” side of town about 5 years ago. I’m enjoying the continental breakfast and this big burly guy walks in and says “hey! Somebody broke into my truck in your lot, i need a police officer to file a report.”

I talked to him while he waited and found out they took something like 5 pistols and a few long guns he brought for wild boar hunting and said he was an idiot for leaving them laying (in cases) on the back bench seat of his (new) F250

If you are going to leave your guns outside, at least hide them.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > 46and2aheadofme
04/28/2016 at 08:43

Yes, but all of it’s safeties are disabled when you pull the trigger.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > whoarder is tellurium
04/28/2016 at 08:44

Yeah, it’s my Dad’s holster. I was expecting around 90 days of waiting for my CWP, but I got it early. I plan on getting a better one soon.

It’s a Glock 30, btw.

My thoughts are- if I’m in a hotel, I’m probably outside of my home state. If I’m out of my home state I may be traveling thru states I don’t have reciprocity in. Which means while driving thru (highways only) states my CCW permits aren’t honored my gun will be in a TSA approved box. Like this:

Kinja'd!!!

So my SOP is: Glock 19 (PDX1 147gr), round chambered, TSA box unlocked and ajar, grip closest to me. Ideally with Inforce APL.

As for cleaning it in a hotel room, unless I was shooting all day there is no reason to do that. My carry guns are always clean. 2 cases when they’re not: I’ve been at the range all day or something very bad has happened.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > nucciOMG
04/28/2016 at 10:54

My job only sends me traveling through the state I live in, so I’m good there. Plus, I plan on getting my AZ permit, so it’s good through the one state where my SC doesn’t cover that I would travel through for other reasons.

Nice choice. We went with the 19 and 26 because 9mm is so much cheaper and my mom can’t take the recoil of something bigger in such a small gun.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Jake Huitt - Two Alfas And A Nissan, Not A Single Running Car
04/28/2016 at 13:47

Did you shoot the 30? There is less recoil in it than my Dad’s 9mm. .45 has less powder, equalling less bang, which means less recoil.

Jake Huitt - Two Alfas And A Nissan, Not A Single Running Car > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
04/28/2016 at 13:52

My mom didn’t, but my dad and I did.

I loved it and thought it was perfect. He wanted to match the 9mm we already had and thought mom would prefer the 9 as well.
