Firearms in truck

Thanks, that means my 1911 with a 5" barrel and 8 round magazine should be legal I'll have to check out what paperwork I would need!

 

So how would one go about strapping your doors together. Pics?

 

if you go to a milatary base a gun is going to be a problem. get caught taking it into canada, mayby youll be turned loose in 20 years.

 

I am retired military AND I have taken pistols into Canada. And even so WHILE on duty with US Customs .


Neither are a big deal to do if done PROPERLY....

 

I've delivered to Dover AFB when I had a firearm in the truck. I declared it at the gate, the SPs took custody of it, and it was returned to me when I left.

 

There is no federal law on carring a firearm in a CMV, there are areas in the country that have a no deadly weapons law, but thats state law, not fed law, you do not need a carry permit to just have it in the truck, but if you choose to carry it concealed, youd better have the permit if your ever stopped

 

When I was a company driver at Trans am the shop people would use their key open your door and youd be sleeping after running all night!! Easy solution was get a ratchet strap with he hooks on each end run it through the door handles and tighten it a little!! I have also run the seatbelt thru the door handles to keep the shop people from opening my door while I was asleep

 

incorrect on the no permit to have it in the truck. you can have it in the truck, but if you are caught without a permit you are pretty much dead meat. 99% of the states consider a gun in the car/truck or what ever a concealed weapon. no permit = jail. now states like arizona, georgia and florida for example, no permit is needed to carry in a vehicle. new hampshire has open carry with no license, but get caught with one in a vehicle or carrying it concealed with no permit. your in hot water.

that site will give you all the information you need as far as where you can and can not go with or without a permit. be warned though, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to verify the information prior to testing the waters. better to be safe than sorry.

 

Federal Law.

Yes, you can transport a gun in your truck and not be in violations of the local laws.

And the actual federal link to the same law and it's history.

well i am talking about practicality. hold on mr criminal, let me get my ammo and load my gun so i can defend myself................................stupid to carry one and not have it loaded when the steps to do so are fairly easy in all but a handful of states. and i dont care what the federal law says, get caught with one in california or NJ or new york. your gonna have a bad day.
