    Nope. That's what 80,000lbs of angry Kenworth is for.

    Haa!Just by banning trucker from parking is going to fix the problem. As if there saying its the trucker fault for parking there. Not the guy that shot him. I'm so glad these people are in charge. The long way to look at it. By banning truckers from parking. will drive the bad guy to seek out the local houses. When he moves in to make his next move, and when he does. Then will we do somethang about it. Do you vote.

    Well, oops meant H, the law has got to where you practically can't do anything til you get shot now days. We've let the government take away our right to defend ourselves !;<) They have harm you or kill you before you have a right to defend your self !

    Got this email from a friend of mine. Thought it might be relevant and would like to share it here...

    "Today we are asking everyone to stand together for this non-partisan, no-brainer Bill called Jason's Law.
    For the first time we have something we all care about which is safety.

    Please Join us today by helping to make phones calls to our Elected Officials and ask them to support Jason's Law, If they say they are not on the committee tell them ANYONE can co-sponsor the bill and ask them to please help.
    HR 2156 & S 971 The safe trucker parking bill is being held up for no go reason, the funds come from highway trust fund, they do not raise taxes nor do they rely on stimulus funds. If we do not fight for safe parking we will get flower pots.
    This stand alone bill should not have to be attached to some other pet project and we need everyone to voice to our elected officials to quit stalling.

    Please share this article with helpful info to your Facebook, twitter, friends and family and ask them to do the same today.

    Please dedicate 30 minutes today to make calls, write emails, send a fax, write a letter, tweet, & share on Facebook.

    The attached post will give you information on who is holding up on this bill and phone numbers to call today
    Hashtags to use on twitter #JasonsLaw , #Congress, #Senate, #HR2156 #S971 #TweetCongress #News #Radio #Safety #Parking
    Thank You on behalf of myself and Young Widow Hope Rivenburg who has single handedly fought to get this bill as far as it has... She needs our help.

    And add to the bill ''anyone who holds a ccw, twic, or cdl may carry a firearm anywhere they deem it necessary.

    you dont have to carry a pistol or conceled weapon..
    No laws against carring a shotgun or long rifle...
    just put an old redneck gun rack in your sleeper and hang your 30-06 or 12gauge on it...

    This is my issue with our society...(AMERICA that is), This type of thing could be prevented if there where some type of bill or law passed, where you cna be allowed to carry a weapon for protection if you haven't been charged with anything violent or you've committed no crimes within a certain amount of time. I myself, I am a convicted felon. But I not concerned with Americas law that states i can't posses a firearm... Bulls***! I am definitely gonna buy a pistol before I am put into a semi by myself. I refuse to be killed by some idiot because I have a career which I went out and worked hard for, because he or she thinks I have more than they do. I believe i would serve my time proudly knowing that I will be able to see my child again.
