    Go ahead and deduct it. Take pics and get crime stats on the areas you go to. Then if you get audited, maybe you can convince the IRS auditor to allow it.:laughing-guffaw: Let us know how it goes.

    You can claim anything you want... until you get audited.

    Seems legit. People with dogs claim 'Guard Dog' and all the dog food, treats/collars and leashes/dog grooming and prepaid veterinary expense is written off on taxes.

    This is crazy...you are advertising publicly that you are considering carrying a handgun in the cab of your truck. What are you thinking?
     
    Tb0n3 Thanks this.

    Bfd. I was a company driver and was prohibited from carrying a gun. Took my 45 with me many times. I also drank a couple of beers in the sleeper on occasion when I was off duty. Oh and the 45 was in the truck at same time. It didn't want a beer so I drank its. Bunch of nancys.

    I carry a Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag with a box of ammo. Have fun trying to track me down.
