    Its kind of like the old rule with driving a truck in another state you had to have a permit so it would pay to check out the law of that state before you brought in a firearm, as a judge said to me once "ignorance is no excuse"

    Lol, its like the "what happens if I get caught with drugs in my truck" threads. If they were smart enough they wouldn't have to worry.

    In Texas my CHL allows me to carry in my truck.

    When I used to haul gas I'd have to go to some rough areas in Houston and I always had my Sig. Now I haul oil and the leases are out in BFE, just me and the cows usually, so I rarely carry it with me anymore.

    My company would surely fire me if they ever found out. But jobs are plentiful, you only get one life.

    The long and short of those blades don't vary by more than about 2 or 3 inches.
    It is called a 'long sword' for a reason.

    And yes, blades that long are pretty much illegal.


    I'm curious why you are so afraid out here that you think you need a deadly weapon on your hip.

    Company I work for does not allow firearms in company vehicles. They did provide me with a couple cans of bear spray however since we work in remote locations. I keep one in my driver's door cause you never know when you'll encounter a crack head around town.
