[QUOTE="Driver'sWife, post: 136572, member: 6085"]You do not have to have a carry permit for each state you travel through. Again, here's the info: It is LEGAL to carry a firearm in a CMV...it may be frowned on but it is certainly legal. For anyone that wants proof here are some phone numbers to verify the information for yourself: US DOT: 202-366-4000 FMCSA: 800-832-5660 National Rifle Association: 800-672-3888 For those of you with Sirius Radio, Cam & Company is on channel 144. Listen to them and/or give them a call and ask at 866-NRA-NEWS. They are on 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. CST. It is their job to know the current laws. [B]The DOT told me though if you do carry a firearm, you must abide by the state/local laws. However, if you are driving through a state that has a law against firearms in the vehicle you are exempt if your state of origin and state of destination both allow firearms in vehicles. I am not certain, but I think the law on that is Safe Harbor.[/B] But certainly you should abide by company policy or risk losing your job.[/QUOTE]
