    We saw this on the news last night, as we sit just north of Richmond, waiting to get unloaded.

    Are people just so freaking bored they have to shoot at vehicles?? or is it just the moving target they want? some people need to be in the nut house with the white jackets.

    I seriously think that these hard times has pushed alot of people over the edge. Although we have always been surrounded by nut jobs now the situation has tripled the nut job population. Now is a time when we should all just stay aware and try to stay safe

    When they get caught, I hope there will be a trucker or trucker's spouse on the jury.

    I also think taht its the economy people are depressed and are making bad decissions. Its bad for a lot of people but you dont see everybody who has it bad now going around shooting at people. Guns need to be allowed in a truck these days you never know whats around you.

    Who carries guns on the truck? No one I know... it isn't allowed.

    ALTHOUGH, I feel it should be, with the proper permits, and so on and so forth...

    We should be allowed to protect ourselves, our equipment, our load,our property, without fear of being arrested for "carrying unlawfully", a weapon.

    Just my personal opinion.

    It is legal to carry a firearm in your commercial vehicle. Some states have certain guide lines for 'transporting a firearm.' Contact their department of public safety/highway patrol if you have any questions or concerns. Look up the laws for each state you'll be traveling in for further guidelines.

    We travel the lower 48.Most of them have specific laws against carrying a weapon.
    DOT regulations nationally prohibit weapons.
