    If I get mad enough to shoot someone then its a safe bet to say that they deserve to be punished. They did something really messed up.

    My wife bought me a FN57 for xmas and was hoping to carry but it seems most carriers will not allow it. That's when I was told to look into Bear Spray. http://www.udap.com

    I cant tell you how many ship/reciv I have been to that has a big ol sign that says "no firearms". But the only time I have had my truck searched was @ military posts and border crossings..
    Even had a few that insisted that I have an in cab escort as I drive through the facility... But no search other that open the door and let them peek in..

    I got to tell ya though, Having a gun in the truck could be a disaster if caught with it..
    Your question was " Does anyone know what companies will allow you to carry vs ones that will NOT?"..... I would ascertain that NO company would "allow" it simply because federal law prohibits it.. Not to mention the fact that companies are micro managed by their insurance providers.
    If you feel that you need to carry one, I say carry one and just keep it a secret. Like a previous comment said "i'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6"..
    Whatever makes you feel safe.

    I've noticed that since I've been carrying bear repellant in the truck, I haven't been stopped by a single bear. This stuff works miracles.

    What does it matter who allows you to carry. As long as your smart and keep your mouth shut nobody going to be any wiser. As for being illegal to carry show me the law there is not one the same law applies to trucks as cars it can not be easily accessible and there have to be a 2 part move inorder to get the gun. If it is in sleeper it can be in a gun box without clip in and bullet in chamber. Answer given by DOT
