    Many variables in play there.

    First and foremost, you have company policy to worry about.

    Then you have the legal side of it. State laws vary widely on guns in vehicles. MD for example, prohibits tranporting handguns except to and from the range. If I'm not mistaken long guns must be unloaded.

    Check with the states you'll be running in.

    Was sarcasm. Should I need a gun? Warning? I lived in NYC in the 80s. Never needed a gun. I believe in the Constitution. Free speech doesn't give me the right to not get banned for saying kma.

    I had to rescue a load from another company driver at that Airforce base in Tampa area. They would not let this trucker onto the base because he had a gun charge in his files. Those guards at that base ran my file and had me sweating but I was cleared. Then they checked under truck, opened side boxes, climbed insided my sleeper and looked around.
    If you carry, just have bail money and lawyer money in case some super cop wants to do a inside your truck search for drugs and then finds your 9.
