Many truck drivers I knew didn't care about the state regulations regarding personal firearms, they just carried them anyway or lead others to believe they did. But here is the problem;</SPAN></SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="COLOR: black; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN><o:p style="RIGHT: auto"></o:p></SPAN> </div>
<div style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 16px; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">You are suppose to have the "right to bear arms" to defend yourself. Most trucking companies ban drivers from doing this. If it is a constitutional right to carry a firearm, how can a company require this as a condition? They cannot ban any other constitutional rights of a truck driver, for example the right to freedom of religion, so why this basic right to self preservation? </SPAN></SPAN></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="COLOR: black; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">The second problem is the logistics for a commercial truck driver who travels many states to register in each and every state they travel through which is state law in most states. So it is not feasible for a truck driver to do this. They use to have the same problem with driver's licenses. Many truck drivers would have a separate license in every state, and when they got a license suspended for driving too many hours or speeding, or accidents, they just used another one. Now federal law only requires a person to have one state license which is good in every state and if you get your license taken in one state you cannot get another one in another state. </SPAN></SPAN></div>

<div style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 16px; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">I think it is only fair that since commercial drivers live in their trucks and travel state to state that they be under one law regarding carrying firearms, and that a company not be permitted to deny a driver their constitutional right to self preservation. </SPAN></SPAN></div>
<div style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 16px; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="COLOR: black; RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto"></SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </div>

I don't think they are given special privileges because they have to travel for a living. Military personal are individuals that I believe also only follow one federal law regarding state residency and weapons, it is a part of their jobs. </SPAN></SPAN></div>

However, there are extreme cases where you may have to, like if you owned a store that was robbed every month, or if you are farmer that has his livestock stolen or killed to the point of extreme financial hardship, or someone kept breaking into your house. Or if you aren't sure of the intentions of the aggressor, are they going to steal and leave you alone, or try and rape you and steal the jewelry. If it were me, and someone broke into my house, even if I had a gun, I would try and slip away and get out of the house, not engage them in a gun battle.
However, if others were in the house, I would shoot them in the head before they knew I was there, because I would have no idea of their intentions being to harm people or just steal my big screen. </SPAN></SPAN></div>

You don't know who it is or what they want. It could be someone to rob you personally, or try to hurt you and get your cargo, or if they simply want you to move the truck somewhere else, turn off the engine, or to sell you something. And if you are unarmed, you are very vulnerable because is their nothing the dispatch can do for you over the CB or cell but call the cops and hope they can find you in time. </SPAN></SPAN></div>
