“This sounds to me like another government solution to a non-problem “

It’s a problem if the hotel you choose takes away your second amendment right but didn’t tell you before you made the reservation. If the hotel stayed out of your business, there wouldn’t be a problem but they are the ones who inserted themselves to take away your second amendment right. The second amendment doesn’t say hotels are exempt from following that amendment. No business has the right to take away your constitutional rights.

While a hotel is a public accomodation, the owner still (for now) has control over certain aspects of his property. The second amendment does not prevent anyone from insisting you be unarmed on his private property so he is not taking away your rights but rather asserting his own.

I understand that hotels failing to disclose their policies can lead to frustration, financial loss, etc but I see that as a civil matter. If a hotel which fails to disclose that it will not permit you to bring a firearm onto it's property still charges you then you have every right to take up the matter in small claims court, or simply tell your CC company that any charges are illegitimate.

As we have seen time and again governmnet interference for something we like eventually gets turned on us. I for one would rather keep the gov. out and deal with the issue the way I would deal with any company that has provided a poor product or service.
