Pepper Spray Legal?
Is it legal for me to have pepper spray in the truck?
I do know that pepper spray is legal in all the states in which I drive.

Possession is usually legal.
How you use it, on the other hand, may not be.
Spraying someone with pepper spray is at the least Simple Assault in most jurisdictions, so you'd better be certain you are justified in using it if you do.

Far better to be safe than sorry!!
My advice??
Forget about the pepper spray; just stop off at the truck stop buffet, eat some of the day-old beans, some broccolli, some onions, and the left over fried chicken. Wash it all down with some black coffee.
Anyone tries to mess with you??? You'll have their eyes burning worse than any pepper spray out there!!

I was standing in line behind a driver many years ago at a fuel desk, and he had my eyes burning from his BO. I guess the concept of bathing wasn't in his mentality.

I had a can of Mase, not pepper spray. I had Police Issue. Legal or not I never got into trouble. But it from a Police doing a presentation on Home Safety and Gangs to a foster parent education program.
I never got into trouble, and it was seen by several cops..
I use to hear truckers on the CB talking about opening a can of Wopp a$$. The said they had a 55 Gal drum of it, I would come back and say Well I do not have a 55 Gal. Drum, just 5 Oz, but it's enough.... One figured it out, and said OH S*** He has Mase....

"Wopp a$$" Would that be "whoup a##" you're thinking of? Those of the Italian (wopp/wop) persuasion may take offense. BOL

No offense taken, I knew what he meant. I do find it interesting this is legal with good cause. I'd hate to have it taken away from me and used on me.

The other day while in the scale house with my O/D permit they called in about a driver having a firearm in his truck. I then asked the officer about the guy having the firearm in the truck with him. I mentioned to him that I thought that guy was in big trouble as I thought it was illegal to have a gun in the truck. He said that it was not illegal if you had the proper paperwork and if the gun and clip/ammo was in two different areas of the truck. Gun in dash/ clip in sleeper.
I had always thought it was unlawful to posses a firearm in a commercial truck. Is this not the case? I am sure this might start a big mess, but I am only stating what the officer told me. Georgia scale house in Lagrange.

There are no Federal Laws against having a firearm in a CMV. Where you have a problem is at the state line. Every state have their own laws in respect to the transportation of firearms. Then you have city laws to contend with. And don't forget your carrier's rule in regards to firearms.
Those wanting to know more about the laws I recommend http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/Federal/Read.aspx?id=59
