is messing with other truck drivers equipment common?

Jorihe84 · Mar 5, 2012

In the first couple months I was on the road I got lazy and didn't check my pin. I started moving and the trailer dropped down. I was fortunate enough it was a really heavy load + a automatic ( no clutch) so it stopped once it landed on the drives. Bet your ### I've checked ever since.

i will save you a huge headache. the link above is to the thread. there is NO FMSCA REGULATION or STATE LAW that prevents you from carrying a firearm in a CMV.

the companies are the ones that prevent drivers from being legally armed. you have to know what the laws are for each state you intend to be visiting. if you run any northeast at all, and seeing that you live in vermont, your pretty much screwed for carrying for self defense.

my TN handgun permit is good in 37 or 38 states now, but if i ever got caught with my handgun in my truck or on my person in NJ, that is a felony and i go to jail. i am considered a criminal just like the thugs who murder and rob banks.

i am very fortunate to work for a small company and the owner does not mind if we are armed. i mind my business. it is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6

keep on truckin!

I don't even know why it was brought up? Are you gonna shoot someone over pulling a pin? That'll go over good in court. I know you are just answering the other guy Cadillac.

I guess you never watch the news or haul to South Texas or any other bad area known to have crime ................... There are people outside of that little bubble you live in (the cab of your truck) that will kill you for the cash in your pocket.

As I posted everything says fed is unclear on specifics but at the same time every site I checked said each state has the right to enforce its own law on the fact. And again I've been stopped in Ky in a cmv and when my ccdw shows up it raises a red flag and I'm informed it is illegal in Ky. Most laws are written where normal ppl don't know or understand every aspect thus loopholes that are used against us everyday.

You ignored my request to state KY statutes. I have no problem reading them, nor should anyone with a 6th grade education. I have gone to the trouble of researching it for you. You are wrong. These are the actual KY laws.

This section applies to those WITHOUT carry licenses

(8) A loaded or unloaded firearm or other deadly weapon shall not be deemed concealed on or about the person if it is located in any enclosed container, compartment, or storage space installed as original equipment in a motor vehicle by its manufacturer, including but not limited to a glove compartment, center console, or seat pocket, regardless of whether said enclosed container, storage space, or compartment is locked, unlocked, or does not have a locking mechanism. No person or organization, public or private, shall prohibit a person from keeping a loaded or unloaded firearm or ammunition, or both, or other deadly weapon in a vehicle in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. Any attempt by a person or organization, public or private, to violate the provisions of this subsection may be the subject of an action for appropriate relief or for damages in a Circuit Court or District Court of competent jurisdiction. This subsection shall not apply to any person prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to KRS 527.040.

This is for carry license holders

(4) Persons, except those specified in subsection (5) of this section, licensed to carry a concealed deadly weapon pursuant to KRS 237.110 may carry a firearm or other concealed deadly weapon on or about their persons at all times within the Commonwealth of Kentucky, if the firearm or concealed deadly weapon is carried in conformity with the requirements of that section. Unless otherwise specifically provided by the Kentucky Revised Statutes or applicable federal law, no criminal penalty shall attach to carrying a concealed firearm or other deadly weapon with a permit at any location at which an unconcealed firearm or other deadly weapon may be constitutionally carried. No person or organization, public or private, shall prohibit a person licensed to carry a concealed deadly weapon from possessing a firearm, ammunition, or both, or other deadly weapon in his or her vehicle in compliance with the provisions of KRS 237.110 and 237.115. Any attempt by a person or organization, public or private, to violate the provisions of this subsection may be the subject of an action for appropriate relief or for damages in a Circuit Court or District Court of competent jurisdiction.
