Do you have any weapons ?

Bulldog is right. I formerly argued that being the vehicle is commercial and on public roads they can search the truck just like a Health Inspector in a restaurant. The cops can search those parts of the truck related to enforcing regulations, but in most circumstances they need driver, company permission or a search warrant. That's what cops are trained and believe. That's what the lawyers contributing to the past trucking magazine articles I read believe, and it's what the laws say. Your company may consent to a cop searching "your" truck if you are "just" a company driver.

 

The courts have ruled repeatedly that the police have no duty to respond, so it is naive for anyone to place their security solely on the hope of a swift arrival by the police. It is also quite contradictory to in one breath claim the police are killing people indiscriminately and in the next declare that the police are the only ones that should be trusted with guns. It's also quite hypocritical of a lot of the "big names" behind the gun control movement to hire their own armed security staff while claiming they don't see any need for the common person to have a gun.

As for KR, guns & drugs have never been a good mix. Illegal drug use automatically DQ's you from purchasing a gun (question e on the 4473). He likely wouldn't have been any trouble had it JUST been the firearm, but in conjunction with the drugs it was a big deal.

 

Finally, jesus... I’ve been searching the forum for hours to see how much your truck weighs empty.

 

As an update I now have my Glock 45 in the truck with me.

 

I say “just these two guns” then go argghgghhh and flex real goid

 

Dot: “Do you have any weapons?”

Driver: “Weapon?”

Dot: “Yes, weapons inside the truck.”

Driver: “No No. Eaton. Eaton Fuller.”
