Don't leave a weapon in your car at Disney

Disney World visitors report missing guns, one replaced with a stapler

Two tourists have reported their weapons disappeared while they were visiting the Walt Disney World resort recently.

Marshall Fox, who was visiting from Texas, told the Orlando Sentinel he discovered his .45-caliber semi-automatic was gone when he checked the gun case in his glove compartment and found the weapon had been replaced by a stapler.

Fox believes the gun was stolen while the vehicle was valet-parked at the Animal Kingdom Lodge resort in mid-June.

In the second case, Kristoffer Lumby, a visitor from Missouri, said he last saw his gun June 30 in the parking lot of the Magic Kingdom. He visited all four parks and Disney Springs.

Lumby said it’s possible the Glock fell out of the vehicle door pocket.

Both cases remain open, the Sentinel said Friday.

Disney World rules prohibit firearms, ammunition, knives and weapons of any kind on resort property.

Don't leave a weapon unsecured in your car at Disney

FIFY

Also, don't use valet parking. Also lock your car. Also keep weapon out of sight.​

Well, that's just terminally stupid. Even if the valet people didn't steal it, if I was a car-stuff-thief a valet lot in the middle of nowhere is probably a great place for
thieves.... a bunch of cars parked for people who aren't going to claim them for hours and hours....

How about don't leave anything valuable in your car at all when your handing your keys to a bunch of minimum wage or lower chumly's .

I’m just wondering how people tell the difference between a Glock and a stapler.....That being said don’t bring your firearms there

The stapler is better looking and it also works better.

The stapler is made out of metal.

You let a valet park your car with a gun in the glove box? I never, ever use valet parking, let alone with a gun in the car. Why the hell you'd let a stranger in your car escapes me. I can think of a dozen things in my truck console that I wouldn't want people touching.

You would have to be goofy to leave a gun in your car at Disney.

I’m on the “just not going” path. My kids have asked and I’be said no.
1. Florida - no. Too hot.
2. Metal detectors - another deal breaker
3. Stupid expensive
4. Crowds

I’m planning a North Rim if Grand Canyon trip. No desire to ever get ripped off by a rat any more than at the movies.

If I’m getting f***ed, I at least require a reach around.

On Wednesday my mother was discharged from the hospital. I used valet parking. It was easier. I could stay with my mother while they fetched my car (she was in no shape to walk to the parking garage). And I avoid leaving valuables in my car.

Hope your mom is doing well M1911.

So, here is my only real question...

Magazines or Clips...?

Very well, thanks. She did a -2 mile walk this weekend.

I would say magazine, since this is a clip.

No one gets my keys except my wife and trusted family members. I have refused valet parking. I tell them that it is a company vehicle and I could be fired for letting a non-employee drive it for any reason. I am usually just directed to self-park areas.

So, here is my only real question...

Surprised no one is yet whinging about
the Swingline having a loaded chamber indicator.

She did a -2 mile walk this weekend.

Outstanding! (More than I did).

Plus, only -7,998 miles to go,
and she'll get into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Why? Is it particularly valuable or collectible?

I have one of those in my range bag; it was.my Dad's. Must be nearly 60 years old, now that I think on it. Still works just fine, though.

Your car is not a holster or a safe. Your pistol should be in a holster or a safe.
