Heh here is another 1 they were talking about due to the rash of school shootings lately allowing teachers to carry firearms in school. Think that is a good idea as well?
I carried a gun for 14 months in iraq and had to use it twice. Whether or not i was accurate never will know. It was company policy that if you were in the firefight you didnt handle cleanup sweeps. But as such i dont feel threatened very much at all this job is relatively calm. I choose not to ven own a gun now.. If company gives me a load to an unsafe area i refuse to transport it until its daylight.At safer times. If is still unsafe i call shipper andpossibly the local police. Most of the time they will dispatch a car or 2 to the general area. If still fell unsafe dont deliver. find another job. |

I've got plenty of Weapons but have Never carried in my Truck. I've been to some of the Nastiest and Dirtiest places in Cities and Since I've driven since '78 I've NEVER had a Problem so the Scare Tactic won't work or Wash.

no trucker except in rare circumstance needs a firearm in their vehicle you already have an 80000 pound bullett. Speaking as someone whos had a gun put to me on several occasions(not trucking) its a horrible experience but i also realize that if i had had my glock with me at the time of one of the occasions it would have been legaly justified and their would be a few 14 year old teenagers lying in a casket. but on the other hand i started carrying a glock displayed and didnt get robbed any more at that place of business.
Im all for other devices for cmv heavy gloves, tasers but no firearms the state of mind most truckdrivers r in aftr being away from home awile, is not one in which a quick lethal decision schould be made. guns r fine for homes personal vehicles by all means shoot a intruder to your house or a car jacker Cb radios i used to think were a good thing but after ditching mine. my reaction time has improved while driving. this forces one to pay attention. and clearly cuminicate their intentions. just my 2 cents |
My Cousin was an Attorney In Tacoma Wash.
Its not really to savvy to carry! my cousin states..
1. You need a Permit For Each State To Carry! 2 Not! all states allow people to carry' 3 If you discharge that firearm and Kill or Hit an Innocent Person. You are more then likely to be charged and a Law Suit Filed' Maybe a' Mill In Paying That Person or The Family' My Cousin was one of Washingtons Top Attorneys' His Co Counsel a Washington State Rep In Olympia.

Here we go again-Yes it's a Constitutional right but unless you're a O/O your Rights are what the company you drive for say they are and you're gonna have to search long and hard trying to find many that will allow you to carry.
