    That's true. But as a matter of respect I wouldn't carry inside that business anyhow.

    Or better yet, don't frequent that business if that's how they feel.

    I like my job and the company says no guns. All of the chemical plants we go to say no guns. But, I do go to the same places all of the time and don't go to or through places I'd worry about. When I ran dry van OTR as an O/O, I always had one with me. And I didn't brag about having it over the CB or in truckstops like I've heard some idiots do.

    I carried mine every where it was legal. Did I advertise , no never. Never had a single issue. Good point about not subsidizing a business that wants to restrict your right to carry.

    Military bases, border check points, and shipping terminals are all places where you are subject to search.

    Besides, the real point I was making is that carrying a gun into a place that doesn't allow them can cost you your job and even your career. Don't be stupid and take an unnecessary risk.

    I haven't read all the replies so this may be a duplicate. It is my understanding carrying in a CMV is illegal

    The same law applies to CCW in a CMV as does in a POV. As long as you follow the state you are traveling in concealed carry laws and your CCW is valid within said state, you are fine. Get two lock boxes and place your weapon and ammo seperate from each other in those states that do not just to be safe. The Feds leave it to the states to determine this. Of course, if your company policy states that you are not allowed to, you are putting yourself at risk for termination of employment. That is the risk you have to decide to take. Your sleeper is essentially your home while on the road so no one has a right to go into your home while on the road. The cab is a different story though. DOT can look in your cab if they wish but must have a warrant to search through your sleeper berth.

    I never carry in my truck since I travel to liberal cities where only criminals have guns.
