trailer your's is a legitimate question. But I wouldn't dream of leaving home without at least a pocket pistol. Staying in a roadside motel is not my idea of "safe quarters" and my biggest fear is car trouble at night and being stuck on the side of the road without something to at leastprotect my family and I. In todays world you simply CANT say what a stranger will or will notdo anymore.
I usually carry a small 9mm KelTec in my pocket all the time anyway. That gun goes on vacation with us in most instances, that or a 38 snubbie I have. Motel 6 may leave the light on for you, but that's about all they can do for you, the rest is up too us!
Better tried by 12 than carried by 6!!!
