When hotel employees attempt to coerce an interstate traveler to surrender a pistol to the hotel for "safekeeping" or anything else that isn't a "sporting purpose", they are attempting to get the traveler to commit a federal felony.
I believe that is probably correct. If I understand the law, the hotel would be in possession of an out-of-state firearm. I believe it is a felony to receive such a firearm or to deliver it.
Interesting catch. Thank you.
So what's the law about trying to coerce someone into committing a felony?
