Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted December 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2016 Of the Polish trucker who was murdered inside his tractor by a radical muslim shitstain who took his truck and committed a horrible act of terrorism in Berlin. A news story I was listening to quoted the trucker's boss as saying "He was a long time employee who was dedicated to his work, was good at what he did and enjoyed his work. He was also a family man and he will be dearly missed." 12 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48077-in-loving-memory/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HeavyGunner Posted December 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2016 That's sad. Never understood why I can carry hazmat all over the US in a truck but not a pistol. In my opinion the sleeper for an OTR driver IS there home and they should be able to defend it and not be an easy target. 7 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

RowdyRebel Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Who says you cannot carry a pistol? Many states allow vehicle carry, even without a permit...and if you DO have a permit, reciprocity with other states is just as valid in a CMV as in your personal car. Do a little research, and don't get caught with it where you aren't supposed to have it. 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Do a little research, and don't get caught with it where you aren't supposed to have it. My local DOT officer told me years ago I couldn't have firearms in the truck when I inquired about the legalities of bringing my 10-22 along. I assume it's a federal law he must've been talking about when he told me that considering its in a vehicle that's regulated by FMCSR. Also don't forget many workplaces don't allow firearms in or around company property. I figured the officer knew more than I about carrying firearms in a truck. As far as research I know where I can and can't carry in my personal life, don't have to have a carry permit unless within city limits.

Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted December 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2016 There is nothing in the FMCSA regs prohibiting carrying a firearm. You are legal to carry anywhere in a commercial truck as you would be in a car. CCW laws do not differentiate between commercial vehicles and private vehicles. If YOU are legal to carry, you're legal to carry. State laws vary, though, so like I said...just don't get caught with it where you aren't legal to have it. And customers? What they don't know won't hurt 'em. Keep it out-of-sight/out-of-mind and use your head. 5 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

BillyT Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Years ago a driver told me a NYC officer told him if someone tries to rob you when you're sleeping in your truck shoot him get rid of the body and don't report it!! I heard it's 5 Years to bring a gun into the city! Another option is carry a nautical flare gun! Not considered a firearm in most states! Just don't miss, only one shot! Cost about 40.00 in wal mart. You can carry an unconcealed pistol in Florida but the clip must be out of reach. In the glove box for instance.

carlotpilot Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 there are so many places that restrict weapons carry that a commercial interstate driver cannot possibly keep account of all so the general consensus is commercial drivers are not allowed to carry whether you have a permit ir not 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48077-in-loving-memory/#findComment-355743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coenut Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 There's a few guys that carry handheld crossbows. Kinda bulky and not very concealable but at least it's something.

Vladislav Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Too sad to hear and also sad a big truck was involved again in the terrorist attack. There's plenty of Polish truck drivers all over the Europe, most of them do their hard everyday job. And Polish drivers count as one of the best in Europe. Berlin is relatively close to me. Had been multiple times to the city. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48077-in-loving-memory/#findComment-355766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurstscrambler Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I guy who worked with my father got caught with a handgun maybe 15-20 years ago in NYC. He was in a Commercial Vehicle and it was found during a roadside DOT inspection. He spent 3 years in Rikers Island, then went back to Louisiana. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48077-in-loving-memory/#findComment-356236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
