Now that is a good way to get yourself killed!

That is correct. Why are you so fearful of an inanimate object. It is no different having a gun, a bat, a rock or driving a truck. If a person wants to kill someone they will. More people can be killed driving a truck into a crowd than with a firearm. This unreasoning fear is what I don't understand.

I really don't think having a fake gun in a truck is a good idea at all. Think back a few years. How many kids got shot by cops because of a toy gun? In a back alley, in near darkness, a cop sees someone with a gun and shoots. Then finds out it was a kid with a water pistol. I remember that happening quite a few times before they started putting those blaze-orange tips on the barrels. And cops are not the only ones that will mistake it. Suppose the person you're looking at has a REAL one?

If you are soooo afraid and need a gun in the truck. Maybe you shouldn't be on the road. Stay home and run UPS FEDEX DHL deliveries.

Might be legal but if You point it at someone by law it's considered a Actual Firearm.

As usual, more made up laws. NOT TRUE....Lets see you quote a law stating your claim? Little kids would be put in jail left and right for playing army with fake guns. It is not against the law to hold, carry or point a fake gun...period!

You are giving up your responsibility as an American Citizen who you can't protect yourself and your fellow Americans. Especially, in this day and age of post 9/11 when there are know plots to use trucks in terrorist attacks to kill Americans. No one has explained your fear of a gun. If you choose not to carry, fine. Why interfer with my right to carry?

I believe you'll find that it's covered from the point of "preception". Just like "sexual harrassment", if the offended party feels it is harrassment, then, it's harrassment. If you point a gun at someone, and they feel threatened because they think it's real, you're in trouble.

A few years ago, my daughter was in a car with other kids. They stopped at a SHOPCO and bought a little BB gun. It looked real enough. But they took it out of the box while driving around town. The next thing they knew, there were more than 20 squad cars zeroed in on them. OUT OF THE CAR, FACE DOWN ON THE GROUND, AND SPREAD 'EM WIDE!!! My daughter says that with more than twenty guns pointed at them, she was praying that the breeze didn't even move her hair. One wrong move and the cops would have started shooting.

Now, would you like to die because of a fake gun that LOOKS real?????
