{"replyTo":"","text":"How often do you hear truck drivers getting shot to even worry about carrying a gun? The truth is that a gun gives a false sense of safety for the simple fact that you don't have a pair of eyes in the back of your head and besides, no shooter makes you an appointment before...","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I have not researched this for long guns yet so that may vary - the above applies to handguns.\n\nthis area of law is rapidly evolving. There is a case due before the US Supreme Court later this year, NYSRPA v NYC. It has been accepted for US Supreme Court review. It may affect ALL this. Maybe. There's also another carry case on hold before The Supremes, the Rogers case out of New Jersey. And the 9th Circuit is doing a massive review (\"en banc ruling\") on a case called Young v Hawaii in which three federal circuit judges said that any state that limits concealed carry (which by implications includes vehicle carry) has to allow loaded open carry of handguns. If that concept stands expect huge changes in California and Hawaii.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"You need to have a carry permit in your home/purchase state. Then you will need to look up what other states honor your home states permit. In those states you will be able to carry. If you’re driving through a state where your permit isn’t honored you can still have your gun, but it has to be locked and out of reach (I presume under the bunk would work). Keep in mind it will need to be unloaded in those states you can’t carry in too.\n\nFinally, this is all only possible if the company you work for allows for their drivers to carry. \n\nHowever, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.\n","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"A gun will only help if you can use it well. Based on your question it's pretty safe to assume you don't go to the range very often... You'd likely be a lot better off with a sturdy tire thumper or some pepper spray if you ever came across a situation where you needed to defend your life.\n","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"First thing, some states are zero tolerance for a gun in the truck. New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland are among the most notoriously bad. Even locked away and unloaded, if it's in your truck (maybe found after an accident) you've got a felony charge.\n","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"There is no federal or FMCSA ban on guns in semis or other commercial vehicles. Various people will tell you there is, even some cops. It's a myth. All of the issues pertain to state laws.\nUpshot: if you're in a limited running area, and study the laws of ALL the states you deal with, a truck gun might be practical.\nMaybe.\n","replyToPid":0}
