Carrying a gun on the Truck

[terrylamar]

All those shots fired, and you still miss. Sad.

[Mrs.Bryan]

I own 2 Firearms, one for my Purse and the other for my Home.
Firearms have saved my Life 5 times already, and I would NEVER dream of going Unarmed again!
I recommend that EVERYONE go Armed.
God Forbid that the lives of myself, my Husband and our Cat were to be put in danger at some point by someone else!
I am also a Full Year Member of NRA and a Former Cowboy Action Shooter.
Guns have been my companion and friends in times when I needed them.

Mrs. Brian also comes from a pro-gun state where the laws are more liberal. Illinois is a lot tougher on the subject.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6 (did I say that right?)

[Mrs.Bryan]

Ours is Right to Carry and Open Carry.
With the way things are changing, that won't be around much longer here, except in Rural Areas.
Sad State of affairs with the Anti - Gunners moving in on our Cities.

I don't see anything wrong wit carrying a gun... The enemies do... What should I say to them when I have a more of a ratio chance to get shot then I would if I pulled out my own... And most likely I'm pulling out something bigger... How about get shot thinking I could have protected myself or how about feeling better knowing I went down in a blaze of glory for my right to live...

And the best qoute so far ,"I'de rather be judged by 12 then carried by six"... Oh so true, I say Amen to that Brother!!!...

Gun laws are made for the criminals to unarm an armed society who's main goal is self defence, in this manner the criminals can and will take advantage of unarmed citizens to rob,kill,steal, and hold hostage honest peoples. I vote against gun control and any member of the governemnt who is for gun control.
Actually when one thinks about guns all they see is killing when in reality its not the guns that do the damage its actually the bullets that is so dangerous, without the bullets a gun is almost useless.
When the bullet leaves the barrel it goes where ever it can untill it runs out of enough motion to carry it any further.
All the laws in the world will not stop criminals from this action untill we see the crooks swinging from the gallows, untill then current laws and punisment are not going to be much of a deterance.
The current situation in the prision systems is to reform criminals and yes there are some who actually change, but if we had stiffer penalties like open public hangings most people who actually had any moral behaviour would think more before commiting an act of violence.
Under the current system a smart criminal can play the system and be back out in a few years to commit more crimes and if this is the case they get much harder to catch if they are truely commited to comitting crimes.

8) :evil: check out fmcs rules. no regs about carring a firearm. it is mostly the companys policy. there is also the problem with 1 state respecting another states laws regarding firearms. ei. new york does not accept new mexicos concealed weapons permit. still are you going to shoot me just because you were thinking about something else and i came out of the dark and said hi how are you this morning and scared the poop out of you? how do you know i am just being friendly, not a mad sexualy inferior rapist torture killer? you gonna shoot me just to be on the safe side? what is gonna be the guidline where you shoot first? how do i know the rules? if i see you pull a pistol is it ok to shoot you first? c'mon, common sense will keep you safer than a firearm. unless you are willing to shoot at first sight i will disarm you, even if you shoot me chances are i will still disarm you. use common sense!

This topic is old and warn out but I figured I would throw my 2 cents in And its worth about that much. When I was moving here from TN me and my oldest son drove out and my wife and two younger kids flew. We had stopped in Mississippi for the night, and while my boy showered and got ready for bed I went to the diner to grab some food. On my way over I was attacked by two dirt bags, One grabbed my shirt and the other punched me in my face removing two of my front teeth. I don't remember thinking about it but at some point I was able to get my moderately sized folding knife out of my pocket and into the fellow who had hold of me and was trying to get me on the ground. I also got the fellow who removed my teeth as well. The Cops came took evryones story down as well as mine. I will put it this way. Had I had the Glock in my waits band I would have armed a crack head. A hand gun is useless at fist fight range. You are better served by a good knife, And the idea of shooting at some one blazing away at a dirt bag trying to sneak into my truck gives me the willies. If you miss ware do the bullets go ? Into the truck parked next to you. My wife carries concealed, but her first line of defense is her brain. Be aware of whats around you. Take a good self defence class and you will be fine. I am working in the 5th ward at this time. I move around here at night and have no trouble. Keep the gun at home and use your most dangerous weapon a woman has... your mind.

there's alot of big talk on here about firearms & trucks, I'll take your word for fact about no Fed. Reg re; a firearm in a cmv. And we all know whats going to happen when the DOT or MP's do a search and find one. But what happens when you do use it? how about an accidental discharge? Yeah I know it won't happen to you right?? Well I've been thru all sorts of small arms training and it can happen to anyone! I'm NOT going into any detail other than once you pull that trigger you can't call it back! You will live the rest of your life with that on your mind & in your dreams.
With that said, do I still carry? Yes at time when I feel the need to., but only in my home state. BTW I live in NY
I support your right to carry, but some people I wouldn't trust with a butter knife!!!

I sure as **** am glad that criminals think I might be. I have a friend who is always packing. I live in Utah so I thought it was ridiculous. One night we hiked up about a mile and a half to some hot springs. When we got there, there were about 5-10 teenage girls, cute high school girls. There was also one guy who was about 30-ish and was following the girls around the hot pots talking their ears off even though they were obviously trying their absolute hardest to avoid him. They ended up spending most of the night very close to my friend and I. At about midnight, they decided it was time to leave, packed up their stuff and proceeded down the trail. Not two minutes after they were out of site, the weird guy all of a sudden decided he was in a hurry to leave as well. Believe me, it was clear that this guy had bad intentions in his mind from what he had said earlier to us. We tried to be friendly and told him to hang out a while with us. That didn't work. He was determined. He refused and we got more forceful with him about it and asked why. I'm leaving out a lot of the story but the guy was up to no good and it was clear. Finally my friend opened his pack and let the guy see that he had a pistol with him. The guy agreed to stay another 45 minutes and we all knew what was going on. Those girls have no idea how close they came to a very bad experience. No bullets were fired, no literal threat was made, but we all knew what was going on that night. That is, with the exception of the would be victim(s.)

With all due respect to your intended loss.


Sorry but the only accidental discharge I will ever buy is if a weapon slam fires to automatic for a few rounds. Guns don't go bang until you pull a trigger. That's even more preventable than truck accidents.

thank you, but a fire arm is a mechanical device and can have a malfunction at anytime . That may resualt in a misfire or discharge. It all depends on the type of weapon and it's "state of readiness" I have had 2 serious malfunctions
1 where an old PT.22 went full auto and emtyd the mag(got a lot of looks at the range )
2 I had a Ruger MK1 break a fireing pin and when that happens it fires from an "open bolt position" it blew the mag out and brook both grips off in my hand and swelled the frame all from a .22!
No injuries in either case!
Both of these weapons had been well taken care of and still had a mechanical malfuntion, add some neglect of the weapon and inexpeirance
with them and that an accident waitng to happen
guns don't kill people, people kill people. sorry bout the lecture

I love the CZ-52 in cliber 7.62x25

Its cheap and reliable but I don't carry on the road. The company policies are clear, and most companies prohibit entry on thier property if you are carrying.

[Random_Facts]

Like I said before, forget the gun You don't need one to arm yourself. use windex in there eyes. that way if a police officer say's what's that for? all you got to say is simple cleaning my windows Lol.

Stop griping (complaining). You (YOU) decide what's right and wrong.... not the law. The law wants you to be submissive (naked).
But life and death decisions are for you to make, not the law. By the time the law gets there (after the 911 call) you're already dead.
If you need to kill someone.... kill'em. Period. If not keep the gun concealed in the truck. Period.
But at least YOU have control.

Why are you dredging up the dead? This thread died 4 years ago!

I am a female who has driven solo, and I have been raised around guns--but I do not believe you need one on a truck to protect yourself! If us females can do it come on guys! Also, it is against the DOT and law to have a firearm on the truck.

[GMAN]

There are no laws that prohibits anyone from having a firearm in their truck. There are also no DOT laws on the books which prohibit having guns in the truck. Although some companies do prohibit drivers from having a gun in their truck, it isn't illegal.
