I live in Florida and have a Conceled Weapons Permit.Is it illegal for me to carry a pistol on me when i drive a commercial vehicle??

 

Federal law prohibits it....

 

you can carry as long as you stay in states that your permit is good for. Do a search this topic has been asked 100 times before. :wink:


There is no federal law that prohibits it. :roll:

 

What are the penalties if i deceide to protect myself anyhow and carry it??

 

Thanks for the replies ive heard so many different answers

 

THere is no federal law that says you cant carry a weapon in a commercial vehicle. However, when you start crossing state lines there will probably be a problem. Also most likely, your company will have a rule where you are not supposed to carry weapons. THen you run into another problem. In many states with concealed carry laws, its illegal to carry on private property where the owner doesnt want weapons on his property. So that would most likely include everywhere you deliver to while in your truck. Again....if you are only delivering in state....and every customer you deliver to says its ok to carry on their property, then NO LAWS have been broken.

 

Evidently I am misinformed.....I was told by a Colorado State Trooper,who lives 2 doors down,that it was against federal law....But......It's been some 2 years since that conversation....

 

I see thanks alot for clearing this up for me.My permit is in Florida and i dont leave the state so i should be ok.Thanks again for the replies

 

If you feel you NEED a gun to "protect yourself" ,, you need to stay out of the business..

 

What??? thats stupid its not the business
