    Well unfortunately I am in the suburbs of chicago and I run routes in the city 3 times a week. How far south are you? I have heard the areas near st luis and Springfield are strict also.

    Sometimes you have no choice but to open carry. Ain't no hiding this thing, but it comes in handy for afternoon rush hour. Just make sure you have extra big pockets to hold your reloads.

    Years ago, I worked for a private security company that had a division that did nuke plants, I can assure you, they too would have found it, and you would have been turned away and banned. They had the same authority and did as thorough a job as if you were going to the other locations.

    Thats fine... I'm not advocating breaking any type of law/regulations. I'm simply stating my experience and "better to have it and not need it" stance.
     
    Mudguppy and chris887 Thank this.

    I'm with you, I carry 24/7/365, although I'm not OTR anymore, I still drive a truck, just locally, had this conversation with a guy, who by the way has been driving longer than I, tells me "it's illegal to carry in a commercial truck, When I asked him for proof of his claim? he replied "highway patrol told him", As I already knew the real answer to this question, I have E-mailed the Nevada Highway Patrol, asking them to tell me what and where can I find the law on the legality on a commercial truck driver carrying a firearm in the truck, And they have refused to disclose any answer, IF! it was truly illegal, then why has my E-mail gone unanswered?
