Looked around on here and couldn’t find any real answers to my questions. First of all, do any of y’all carry guns on the road? Second, what is the actual law? Do you have to have a concealed carry? Can it legally be transported across state lines? Can it be in the truck with no concealed carry?
I would really like to bring one on the road but don’t know if that’s even possible or if trucking companies even allow it.
Guns??? Concealed carry?

There's a motion in the works to allow permitted conceal carry nation wide, we will see if it passes. For now you cannot carry in every state particularly liberal states like Illinois. Don't get caught!TruckCarol, SingingWolf, rabbiporkchop and 1 other person Thank this.

Here's one thread on that topic that might interest you.captjimmy Thanks this. -
So I can’t even have one in truck if it’s in a case?Vic Firth Thanks this.

Here's a youtube video by J Canell that explains it pretty well. Not all states honor other state's conceal and carry license.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has experience with being searched by DOT, and if they actually enforce it as long as you have a CCW from your home-state. -
I can't answer for what companies allow you should ask hem. I have a concealed carry permit and I've always carried. I do not care what anyone says, I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. The exception is Canada and I stopped going there.Joetro, jammer910Z, Swedish Chef and 9 others Thank this.

Me too. I would like to hear real trucker experience. From what I read, if you don’t have a concealed carry permit and you use the weapon, then you go to prison.
-
Thanks, good to know. I will carry mine regardless I think. Just don’t want any trouble.
-
Just don't let anyone know you have one. A lot of companies have strict rules about firearms in their trucks. Make sure you understand your company policy.OLDSKOOLERnWV, CrappieJunkie, TravR1 and 3 others Thank this.
