Can you carry a gun even with license in a cmv in texas

Texas is an 'open carry' state. You can openly display your firearm. Have your license with you.

 

I cannot speak out with regards to Federal Statutes with regard to CCP in a Commercial Vehicle but I can clearly assure you that any firearms legislation restricting your right to defend yourself is both improper and unlawful. I think the testimony expressed by the young lady at THIS hearing clearly demonstrates why.

With that being said, each individual state that you enter will have it's own cookbook of restrictive and criminal laws that will impose severe penalties on any driver who gets caught traveling into or through said state without meeting that state's laws. I've researched only to find that there is no possible way for you to 'legally' transport, locked and loaded, any firearm across state lines without obtaining the appropriate ccp for that state. Presently there are sanctions being considered for lawfully licensed travelers to have a 'right' to carry when traveling through numerous states however, at this writing, no such licensure exists.

I respectfully invite EVERYONE who sees this post to please make the testimony video I've provided, go postal.

The 2nd Amendment was written to permit We the People to protect ourselves from YOU the Government !!!

They are pushing for it, but, Unless they just passed it, no it's not....

 

blah blah blah...I just didn't feel like posting what I typed.

 

My girlfriend was born in Texas and lived there for 35 years until she moved here to NC. I confirmed it with her before I posted it. She could be mistaken, but I doubt it.

 

First off, you can carry a fire arm in the truck with you at all times, who says you have to go down the road with a loaded chamber. As for being ok in the great state of Texas? Does no body read or watch the news, Gov. Rick Perry is trying to get your conceled permitt added as a endorsment on your CDL so that truck drivers can have conceled weapons in the truck, Texas is 1 of the few truck friendly states, so call and send thanks to Gov. Perry.

And by the way a hand gun in the bunk in a case with clip out of gun is not conceled. and does everyone think when you pull up to a gate that has a sign saying no weapons, that we back up turn around and leave get real. Its my vehicle and my rolling house.

 

while i applaud Perry's thinking, adding the gun permit to the CDL as an endorsement is a bad idea. look at the amount of redtape that we have to deal with on both items now. could you imagine the fiasco renewing that mess at once along with HAZMAT too?

 

2 months ago I was pulled over in Del Rio for a roadside inspection. As soon as the officer walked to the window, I told him I had a loaded gun and I do have a carry permit. He asked where it was and I said on my hip. He asked me to get out of the truck, he un-holstered the gun, laid it on the front seat of the police car and then we did the inspection. When the inspection was over he had me step out of the truck again and then he laid the gun on the drivers seat instead of handing it back to me. He also thanked me for notifying him right away because that is what you are supposed to do. If you are legal, don't hide anything.
I have a safe mounted in the passenger sidebox. When I enter states that my permit is no good, I unload the gun and store it in the safe. Now there are some places that you are not even supposed to have a handgun. So, I guess if I gave a cop in one of those areas a reason to search the truck, I could do some jail time. That is my choice.

 

The problem with carrying a firearm in a truck is that every state has their own laws governing it.

Just look at the poor guy who moved from Colorado to New Jersey a few years ago and got sentence to 7 years in prison for having 2 handguns that were completely disassembled in is truck (http://abcnews.go.com/US/brian-aitken-jersey-gun-charge-commuted-gov-chris/story?id=12448867&page=2). He has had his sentence commuted by the governor but only because he should have fallen under an exemption New Jersey has for people who are moving.

Until there is a common law governing the laws for carrying for all stases it would seem it is almost impossible to be legal everywhere you might go, add to that the rights of businesses you may deliver too to ban firearms from their property it would seem there is no practical way to carry a firearm on a truck.
