The "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 (or 10)" argument doesn't mean those are the only 2 consequences related to carrying a firearm. Carrying a firearm the company doesn't want in their trucks can easily turn a minor dispute with a customer's employee into getting fired. It can turn a medical emergency for the driver into a firing event when the unauthorized gun is discovered after the driver is taken by ambulance to the hospital and the company sends another driver to collect your stuff and ship it home, etc. If you are prepared to pay for a heart-attack or stroke then don't worry about getting fired and losing your health insurance because you broke company policy. If you are prepared to miss a customer appointment, and maybe that's the last straw for you according to the company, because your truck was broken into and your gun was stolen and the time required for the police report messed up the dispatch plans, etc, etc, etc. Having and not having a gun comes with responsibility and consequences, refusing to anticipate them has no impact on IF those consequences visit you. Unless your crystal ball comes with a guarantee you have no idea what situations are going to happen tomorrow. Have a plan for them unless you are some Jason Bourne type that thinks 100 times better in the heat of the moment than you do during a calm period.tarmadilo Thanks this. -
