You can then travel there (under 10 min away) to pick up your gun if you want to get it that day. We can make arrangements to hold them or ship them or take you to the site and back. This is the Federal Law, and our rule also is that; on black powder or antique we will take them back to our business and they can be picked up there, this is our way of being courteous to the hotel. They did not want people walking around with guns in the lobby as there are families coming through, and we agree.
