Firearms in a Truck????

I love guns. But ironically I hate the idea of truckers with guns. Ever turn on your cb when not at a shipper/receiver, traffic accident, bad situation?? If the gun laws and company policies were more lenient, these seriously jacked up people jamming up the Citizens Band with skeet would now be packing assault rifles, semi-autos, and probably take it to the next level and be packing full auto AK's, SKS's ets... The blatant reality is this industry has got a disproportionately large amount of really "F"ed people, a lot of predators, sexual predators and other screwed up deviants, a lot who are just down right scary. I dont want these freaks carrying guns period, and hate the idea of it. Putting guns in the hands of the majority of truckers is almost the same as putting guns in the hands of the majority of patients in the insane asylums. Its just not a good idea.

Back home in Montana almost everybody is taught about guns at an early age. Raised around them, And is quite respectful of them and each other like most normal people are. Great place to have guns completely support it there as well as most places. There is a time and place for everything. Trucks is not a good place for guns.

 

Don't bring any firearms into California until you have cleared it with DOJ. Many guns are banned here so dont risk a felony.

 

if i live to be 100 i will never stop seeing such threads about carrying firearms....

what's the use, really...??? arguments are abound in regards to how to legally carrying them if you are licensed in YOUR STATE...

but what's the sense...?? in a real emergency can you get to your weapon fast enough before the perp takes the first shot..??

in any event, many will do as they wish and carry a weapon illegally, so be it....just make sure you keep it holstered when someone is just asking you for directions, because not everyone is a threat.....

and when someone is sitting in jail for illegal possession, please be sure to gain internet time so you can come here and chat with us...

i too have been in tough "hoods", like Watts, Bronx, Gary, D.C., and many others, and i never had any problems....maybe just luck, or being careful or both.....a person carrying a weapon has MORE of a chance of getting hurt or killed than a person that does not carry....

no one, and i mean no one, is "Quick Draw Mc Graw".......

 

Gee, in a vague way, it reminds me of firing automatic weapons at "Malone 18" down at Fort Benning, GA... and having a full bird colonel shake my hand for matching the highest score in the battalion (INF battalion=5 companies, up to 1400 soldiers including supply and mess personnel, but our battalion was around 1300 troops). Thought I was in trouble when my name was called at the end of a long day, but it turned out that some other hand and I had matched the highest score... a good day for me in the Infantry. Anyway, it's a whole new ballgame when ___holes shoot back at ya, as some of you undoubtedly know. Changes the whole scenario...

 

blah, blah, blah..same 'ol, same 'ol i read every so often by gun lobbyists....

rhetoric, blah, blah, blah.....

 

STOP, STOP,STOP already. I posted the same question in the Trucking Industry Regulation forum and the moderator stopped the postings at 134. Like he said you can get the right answers after just a few pages.
