If we stopped delivering loads to New Jersey, New York, Illinois and other states that have no respect for their citizens’ freedoms, maybe they’d be willing to loosen their draconian firearm laws so we can protect ourselves.

Do I want the guy who didn't close his doors properly and went driving down the road with the drivers side flapping in the breeze to have a firearm?
How about the guy who ignored the directions on the BOL, ignored the same directions in the work assignment and loaded up his gps to the bill to address and ended up on a dead end, dirt road?
Or the one who didn't realize she opened the side of a trailer backing in? She stopped when the yard jockey hit his horn, then started moving again.
How about the guy who tried couoling to a trailer with a glad hand lock, a kinpin lock, and a big red tag saying "oos"?
These are all from this week.Sirscrapntruckalot, Snailexpress, Wargames and 5 others Thank this. -
I don't see a problem defending at all cost when someone is meaning to cause harm to you in a life threatening way. Two wrongs doesn't make it right, but I'm not going to stand by letting someone harm me in any way that threatens my life. When it comes to your firearm when eliminating a threat, there's plenty rules of engagement to follow. I pray to never have to be put in a position such as that
