As such, wouldn't the law allowing you to carry concealed from your home to your vehicle via a direct route still apply? I can see that they could ban them from the public areas such as pools, restaurants, or lobby/breakfast areas as these are common areas and stopping for breakfast or a swim would hardly be a direct route. I do like the idea behind the bill but he should change it to require ALL banned activity be included in the pre-reg notice.
Guests with guns were never considered a problem in the hotels where I worked unless they discharged them (1 in 10 yrs and by a LEO) or left them behind (about one a month at one property).
If this is made generic to require that ALL restrictions, not just gun-related restrictions, must be disclosed pre-registration, it would achieve the same purpose without calling attention specifically to guns.
