How about being blocked by hotel computers?
Assuming that a hotel actually "provides" computers, other than those used by staff, try searching without using such words as "gun," "weapon," "rifle," etc. Instead, try using words relating to makes and/or models and possibly those related to specific parts or assemblies. This is unless, of course, all information containing the words "gun," "weapon," etc., are blocked entirely. But, this seems a bit of an overkill-type situation to me.
Seriously though, Ive never encountered such ridiculous restrictions as of yet, so I cant comment. But, then again, I do most of my online info gathering/literature ordering at home and the rest occurs at the local bookstore. So...in my case, hotel computers do not really factor in all that much. Of course, most hotels I have visited simply provide wireless access points or manual docking stations. I guess they could restrict access to certain material via their server settings, but I have yet to encounter this.
Besides, there are other ways to access the internet while away from home (without needing a laptop and/or suffering certain restrictions). You just need to be resourceful.
