    Population has exploded, crime rate has not.

    NOPE, there is NO "DOT rules or regs" outlawing the carry of a firearm in a CMV.

    March 25, 1992 marked the 10th anniversary of Kennesaw, Georgia's much-publicized ordinance requiring residents of the city (other than convicted criminals and those with religious objections) to own guns. The city has been nearly crime-free ever since. After the law went into effect in 1982, crimes against persons (including homicide and rape) plummeted 74 percent as compared to 1981. They fell another 45 percent in 1983 as compared to 1982. Burglaries have fallen by around 80 percent. In 1991 and 1992 combined, there were only three robberies and three rapes. And perhaps most impressive of all, there have been no murders since the pro-gun ordinance went into effect! Kennesaw's population in 1982 was around 2,500. Today, it is over 10,000. Yet, the crime rate continues to drop.

    Well Tread, if it had been my truck, you'd have had a very piss off dog on your ### in a second. And he would have been in the right to bite you. After all its like opening the door to someones house sorta.
