Wife and I have been going to Tampa for her lymphadema treatments. This time we stayed at HI right down the street from FSU.
Upon getting settled in my wife was hooking the game up to the tv, she said whats this black bag behind the tv? It was a cloth publix bag, she pushed the bag towards me and i opened it. She said what is it? I spun the bag around and said dont touch it.
Inside the bag was a Tec 9mm. As you can see not an EDC gun even an extended mag. I told her pack up im going to the office to have them call the police and tell the manager and have us moved to another room.
Me and the manager returned to the room and i opened the bag. Her response was OMG. I got a call from someone the day you got booked asking for this room, i told them its been booked, they asked if i could move the people, i said no. She did move us to another room. When the police came they had me there and took my info. He put his gloves on and took the gun out. Ok first thing illegal with the extended mag. He popped the mag out and it was full, pulled the bolt back and one round popped out. He cleared it and said whoever left this wheather legit or for badness they were ready. He took the gun and said they will run the serial # to see if stolen and who its registered to. He did get the name of the last person to book the room, It was on the 5th. He said good move to get relocated.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your experience. It's always important to check your hotel room for any unexpected surprises. It's scary to think what could have happened if you hadn't found that bag with the Tec 9mm. Glad to hear that you and your wife were able to relocate to a safer room. By the way, apologies for reviving an old thread, but I'm also on the lookout for hotel recommendations. I recently discovered one webpage that lists hotels that let you check in at 18, which is great for younger travelers like myself.
