Hey drivers, just read this article about the pros and cons of truckers carrying guns for protection. It’s a hot topic that I’m sure many of us have opinions on. Personally, I think it’s a right that we should be able to exercise, especially when we have to drive through some sketchy areas or park in unsafe locations. I have a concealed carry permit and I always keep my gun locked in a secure box in my cab.
But I also understand that not everyone agrees with me. Some drivers think that carrying a gun is too risky and could lead to more violence or accidents. Some carriers don’t allow their drivers to carry guns at all, or have strict rules about how and where to store them.
So what do you guys think? Do you carry a gun or not? Why or why not? What are some of the challenges or benefits of trucking with a gun? Let’s have a civil discussion and respect each other’s views. Thanks for reading and stay safe out there!
