    Pretty sure that any firearm is illegal in a CMV at all times but I could be wrong. Not sure if the concealed would change that or not

    Your carrier may deny you your right to defend yourself, but you only have on life, and there are other jobs.

    It is legal to carry it your state an states that reciprocate with your state on CPL's. When you go to states that you cant carry like NY you have to unload an lock your weapon in a locked box.

    Most people think it is illegal to carry but all it is, is company policy. There is no law that i know of that says you cant have a gun in the truck and i have been stopped before an the Bears were all fine with me carrying.

    I believe its based on state laws for carrying in a CMV. I read the statue for Missouri and its not allowed. Same goes for Ohio.

    So far that's the only two states I've researched. And when I say research I mean close to an hour digging through the statue's.

    USSCA.com may be of some help to you.
