My mother is a truck driver and has recently ask me about carring in her rig .
So i started to compile some info from places such as Packing.org and opencarry.org , When I stumbeld upon a very well written book named
somthing along the lines of "Gun laws of the fifty states" $9.99 at the local
sporting goods store.
In a nut shell I think if a trucker keeps a firearm in a locked container inaccesible from the driver compartment seperat from ammo and (dont stop unless for gas and emergency In certin states like DC and there is a couple others,) that would be compliant with all states.
That above is worst case senario, All states have their own laws like open carry is fine cc is not ecept with a permit and so on . I atempted to figgure witch CCPs she would need to cover the US completely, This is almost imposible , the best I found for her situation was have a MT permit among two others and that would cover most states ecept WA CA and most of the eastern seaboard states and a couple near the great lakes.
In that book there was a section on a Federal Interstate law,
Im shure someone knows the name of it but It refurs to Traveling across country to a destination and how you can legaly transport firearms through
a state that more or less Does Not alow firearms of any kind like DC,
As long as your traveling (IE traveling) through one of these Anti states
and do not stop unless for gas or an emergency you are within your rights.
So while talking with my mom I asked her if ther was a compartment that could be accesed from both the inside and outside of her truck , she said yes so I told her if she bought a firearm, that would be where i would put it. One reason if she got pulled over, and the state she happend to be in has to have the weapon in the trunk inaccecible to passenger compartment!!!
If done right everything would be fine.
