Tell this driver that.

And the part of the gun being locked up and disassembled makes it useless.

I'm not saying you, but I bet a large number of gun toting drivers would shoot someone in the back, given the chance.

 

judged by 12,are carried by 6,you decide !

 

So, no facts to back up your statement. NY is one of those states that you have to have it locked up and preferably disassembled. It doesn't matter if you're driving a Honda or Freightliner. As far as your BS position about shooting drivers in the back, there are a great many drivers that carry now, and it doesn't happen. Please, take your drivel someplace else, or back up your statement with FACTS.

 

OK, I got bored with the back and forth in this thread, so I will just say this. I'd rather have it and not need to use it, than to need to use it and not have it. If you carry, be proficient with it, and KNOW that you are willing to do what needs to be done. Expect to face the consequences of your actions.

 

At home and in my personal truck, i have my P30 next to me at all times.... In the rig I just carry a 2lb hammer and only $40 cash (can't carry the flare gun while hauling haz-mat tanker loads)

But I also do the same run the the same place every week and only stop at 2 truck stops that I know are safe. Plus I am not wearing sandals and shorts and tank tops. Seems like they would go for those drivers before going after a guy wearing cat steel toes, jeans and a work shirt. But maybe not

 

How do you like my little friend? Go ahead, make my day.

 

AMEN!!!!! I believe a vet would be the 1st line of defense that I would want over just about anyone else...god bless them and all they have done for us!

 

I get sick of the whole us vs. them about every single subject discussed.

Law of the land/Outlaw
Long hood/Aero
GPS/Maps and directions
Independent school/Company training
Buy used/Lease new
Flipflops/Closed toed shoes
Shorts/Long pants

Carry/Don't carry.

If you carry, you're looking for trouble. If you don't, you're a pushover for the guv'mint. Are you guys kidding me??

Really??

I own firearms. I choose to leave them at home. I have enough confidence and awareness of my surroundings to avoid problems in the first place. The only problem I have ever sensed, besides a recent event in June, was in a rest area. A guy was skulking around the ladies' room, hiding behind the vending machines and followed me up toward the parking lot. I walked calmly to my truck and left the area.

I choose to leave my guns at home because I don't want the added liability. If you think that's wrong, too bad.

But seriously? Why do you care so much?


(This was in no way aimed at anyone in particular...unless you're someone who has to fuss at everyone else who doesn't do it YOUR way.)

 

Where did I say I hated guns? FYI, I own a handgun. I don't see the point in taking it with me in the truck as it does more harm than good.


The simple way to avoid life and death situations is to not put yourself in them. As in, don't open your door to anyone who knocks on it.
