what would happen if a firearm was found in my truck

They still need a certain amount of PC. Wait a minute, I may be wrong about that, considering the Homeland Security laws now! I can tell you that the search and seizure laws in California changed with every decision made on them by the idiots on the 12th Circuit Court.

There you have two choices. Let them search, or refuse to go on their property! Of course if you're a company driver and refuse, you're going to be in trouble with your company.
Again though, having a weapon in your sleeper just means it is in a place where even YOU may not be able to get to it, should you actually NEED it.

 

This means everything. Ever see a cop going through luggage in the trunk of cars? That is personal belongings.

Here is the PDF file that I got all this from so you can read it for yourself....

they take you around the back, and tickle your fancy till you give it up.

if it were me, i'd hold onto it for a long, long time.

it may be the most your fancy ever got tickled.

 

It depends on the state and whether that state has reciprocity with your CCL. I have an AR CCL - I do carry in m truck, but it adds a step to my trip planning. If I'm running into NY, NJ, IL, etc., I have to go the lockbox route and strip the mags and ammo. Do your research and get legal advice from a lawyer familiar with firearms regs. - which is what I did and I keep his card in my wallet and his number on speed dial (as per his instructions) just in case.

 

Don't know where the 12th circuit court came from. I meant the 9th circus er circuit court. . .
The older I get, the less I know. . .

 

I don't recall him asking, he said something along the lines of.. I'm going to give you an inspection and I'm going search your cab too.. it was not a border crossing.. it was a random road side inspection in Texas.

I can see that you're doing it now

 

I used to haul into several nuclear power plants. Your truck was searched from top to bottom, inside and out. Cab, sleeper, everywhere. And depending on where in the plant your were delivering to you were accompanied by a very serious man toting a fully automatic weapon the entire time.
