    It's a 9mm with a glock magwell that allows a 33 rd magazine. My buddy just got one last week. He could only find a CA model and Is waiting on some modifications to arrive.

    I was taught and have learned that half of your threat will come up from behind you.
    Though I will take issue w the check your mirrors every 7 second advice.

    Someone with a concealed carry permit can carry a concealed weapon anywhere that his state allows. Most other states, except the commie states have reciprocal agreements that allow carry in their states. Subject to each states rules, of course. Only limitations are if your company doesn't allow firearms and/or you go to military bases or plants that don't allow and may search your truck.

    A bigrig will be covered by the castle doctrine in most places.

    Something like the shockwave is the ideal type of shotgun for a driver. I personally think its the perfect truck gun. I run local and regional and I carry a S&W MP Shield daily. Rather safe than sorry.

    I found the best way to carry is to just keep my mouth shut about it. Used to hear guys talking around the truckstop and on the cb about the fact that they were armed. Really stupid thing to do.

    I'm my opinion we should have some special privileges being that we are out there getting the job done....A program that you qualified for and get a stamp on your truck.." Driver Is Armed "
     
    Bean Jr. and Dennixx Thank this.

    No, but apparently I've been living under a rock.
