I got mine regardless.

Better to be caught with it than without it

Better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6!

Could not agree with you more however the likelihood of you using a firearm to protect your life or someone else is far less than the chance you would accidentally reveal your firearm and some anti-gun person would turn you in. And if that happens in a place like California or Maryland may god have mercy on your soul.

A provision of federal law serves as a defense to state or local laws which would prohibit the passage of persons with firearms in interstate travel.

Notwithstanding any state or local law, a person shall be entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearm if the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.

Fixed your typo :)

1. Anti gun persons....to prevent the accidental discovery or snitchin' by others, remember the three S's and apply them as needed to protect yourself, your family or property...

Shoot

Shut up

Ran across these...some are pretty good.


Sigmund Freud: "A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity." ("General Introduction to Psychoanalysis," S. Freud)

Admiral Yamamoto: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." Advising Japan's military leaders of the futility of an invasion of the mainland United States because of the widespread availability of guns. It has been theorized that this was a major contributing factor in Japan's decision not to land on North America early in the war when they had vastly superior military strength. This delay gave our industrial infrastructure time to gear up for the conflict and was decisive in our later victory.

Mao Tse Tung: "All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party." (Problems of War and Strategy, Nov 6 1938, published in "Selected Works of Mao Zedong," 1965)

John F. Kennedy: "Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."

Larry Elder: "A woman who demands further gun control legislation is like a chicken who roots for Colonel Sanders."

"The thing that separates the American Christian from every other person on earth is the fact that he would rather die on his feet, than live on his knees!" George Washington

LOL Big Jeep!

I'm just surprised that Golfhobo hasn't found it necessary to share some of his misguidance on this subject! (or maybe I should have left well enough alone);)

I have always been of the opinion that what the US needs is truck drivers armed with handguns wandering around the country. (then I usually snap right out of my temporary dementia)

Why not truck drivers armed with handguns, and coolers full of beer?

I own several pistols, and some other guns as well....but none of them "travel" with me. In 15 years, I've never found the need for one. Been to some pretty dicey places...but still don't feel the need. Besides, every company says "NO". I've crossed into Canada too many times....never been searched, but I'll bet an internet buck that Canadian or US Customs could find it, if I was foolish enough to carry one.

The greater question is this: If you carry one, and you show it, are you bold enough to use it? Can you really shoot to kill? Are you willing to go down that road? Its easy to say yes.... but in reality, a lot of people who think they can defend themselves with a gun, show it then don't use it, and they then either lose the gun to the bad guy who shoots them and keeps the gun, or just get shot.

Personally, as the old saying "Discretion is the better part of valor" says....is it not better to be more discrete and careful so as to not find yourself in a situation that would require deadly force?

Yes, I know....there is always that "one time" thing.....but even in that instance, could you bring the gun to bear and prevail?

People are going to do what they are going to do.......

Interesting post, Skywalker...

I remember you used to drive for CFI/CWTL, right? I remember someone in orientation asked that question, whether or not there was a company policy...I remember him saying that CWTL had nothing against it, if it was legal.

That being said, I've gotten false information from this same guy before...so not sure...

I drove for CFI prior to the purchase by Conway. The CFI Employee Handbook had a very specific "prohibition" in it regarding firearms. On the other hand.... I knew of a couple of guys who did carry, but they were well aware of the fact that if there was a problem and they got into trouble for the weapons, that the written prohibition by the company would serve to pretty much indemnify the company and be the first step in a "hold harmless" defense in the event of litigation after the fact.

As to CWTL's policy.....I have no idea, and would be leery of anyone's statements.... I'd prefer to get it from the "horse's mouth". And since I have to presume that their trucks still enter Canada......I can't see them allowing it to happen. CWTL's Employee Manual should spell it out.

Sorry I can't be more help....
