Memphis Chicago Gary Indiana lol
Wild_Proposal_8816@reddit
I run straight truck Chicago got my ccl jus need to grab the piece now 🫡
OrdinaryPitiful@reddit
Hell yea! I need my CCL but where I live they only do classes on Saturdays and I’m off Sundays and Mondays 😭 I live in TN so we have constitutional carry. But definitely look up the gun laws of wherever youre headed and be safe. I just picked up the TTI cannik and looking to grab a Glock 19 next. I’ve got my build planned out for it already 🔥
Wild_Proposal_8816@reddit
So there’s an app called “Ccw” shows a handgun laying on an American flag in the App Store. The instructor from my class had all of us download it. The app stays up to date with each individual states laws and which state recognizes your ccl and which ones would not. Also requirements in how it’s transported. Great information 👌🏻
ear_cheese@reddit
Right? I’ve worked dollar general accounts that required staying the night in some hood parts of cities, and I’ve never needed one.
Then again, I spent a large part of my adult life in the hood and never needed a gun. I guess it’s a fear thing.
stephenbmx1989@reddit
The point is to have it when you need it. Not I haven’t used it yet in defense so I’ll never need it.
RequirementLeading12@reddit
Ok that's cool but why are you guys so obsessed with guns? What's the point of posting your guns on Reddit? For upvotes?
Dekster123@reddit
It's the same reason people why truckers talk about driving 30 years and never having any incidents or accidents at all, they think it makes them cool. I have a gun but you'll never see me posting pictures of it or telling everyone that I carry it on the truck. Regardless of their reasons, it seems dumb, but such is the internet. I know correlation doesn't equal causation, but last year a bunch of people were posting their guns on here and i swear like a week or two later I saw truck stops with police and DOT blocking the exits straight up searching people's vehicles. I saw this in Arizona and California, maybe it was during blitz week, but I can't shake the feeling that people posting their guns had atleast a little bit of a reason why if was happening.
OutcomeSalty337@reddit
I think you are exaggerating about the blocking the exits stuff.
Dekster123@reddit
I'm litterally not.
OutcomeSalty337@reddit
Need it on film.
stephenbmx1989@reddit
Ya cops are always plotting their next bust from Reddit. And we know all truck drivers are on here and not half of them don’t even know what Reddit is
Dekster123@reddit
You think I'm naive to think what you put on the internet might somehow blow back on you in reality in unexpected ways. I think you're niave to be ok with posting anything about yourself on the internet and to not think that it could come back to you in reality. Sorry man, I disagree. I even said that I wanted to believe and that it probably wasn't because of reddit. I treat the internet like secrets, don't count on them staying silent forever. One person is all it takes for it to be everywhere and you'll never fully take it back.
stephenbmx1989@reddit
So you think cops are gonna get clearance to track down Reddit users then get a search warrant based off a post that they said they carried chase them around the country until they find them just to give them a ticket for protecting themselves? 😂
I don’t follow your logic and I don’t see the evidence for it either
Dekster123@reddit
No, I think that cops will see am influx of people showing off their firearms and decide to start randomly searching CMVs. Last year during blitz week, police were posting on Facebook their haul of seized fire arms that year. My company even sent out like 3 messages about company policy with fire arms and the police searches.
stephenbmx1989@reddit
You can’t just search random people trucks for guns because you saw people on Reddit post their guns more than usual. They have to have probable cause that they’re committing a crime. Plus if they did find a gun it’s not illegal to carry across state lines as long as it’s put up right. You just get a ticket if anything they don’t take your gun.
People been carrying guns in big rigs for decades
Dekster123@reddit
Pretty sure they can just search trucks because they feel like it.
Iron_Patton_24@reddit
Same reason why people post their cars to Reddit. Same obsession. Other people like them, and some people don’t. Monkey brain like vroom vroom, monkey brain like shooty stick.
RequirementLeading12@reddit
So for attention, upvotes, and validation? Gotcha👍🏻
Iron_Patton_24@reddit
Yup, it’s why people do the same thing with computers, model, flowers, food… it’s almost like.. reddit was meant for that… 👍🏼
stephenbmx1989@reddit
It’s not an obsession lol. Lots of guys like the way they look, they’re fun to shot, something a lot of guys can relate to each other and have something in common.
ear_cheese@reddit
And I’ve never needed it. Most cops never need their guns and they seek out danger.
stephenbmx1989@reddit
Okay and? Don’t own a gun then lol tf.
There’s still nothing wrong with people carrying a gun like this. Same goes not carrying.
If you’ve never been in a car wreck don’t wear your seatbelt. Don’t own a fire extinguisher if you’ve never needed it
FlamingoAlert7032@reddit
Yeah go with that OG
legendarygarlicfarm@reddit
I lived in the hood too and I e been robbed st gunpoint multiple times, charged at by a homeless guy with a huge knife, and a few other things... Sooo... Maybe you had some good luck.

Atlanta 🔥🔥🔥
Hypnowolfproductions@reddit
Atlanta is less scary than Gary. Though Atlanta has more trailer theft of loaded trailers.
redditor012499@reddit (OP)
Gary is a hellhole. Atlanta isn’t too bad but you have a lot of wannabe thugs.
hooligan-6318@reddit
Oddly enough, with all the shitty places I've been, the one time I ever needed a firearm in a big truck was in Louisville, KY.
Over near the GE appliance park (Circle K parking lot at about 1145 pm.)
MadMysticMeister@reddit
Right! I rather stick to my swords tbh..
an_abnormality@reddit
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
hooligan-6318@reddit
Just load the cannon and give the ones you miss a heart attack.
Orlando1701@reddit
Gotta be careful with that, CCP laws in this nation are a patchwork and if you’re not smart about it you can land in real trouble.
Will never understand why we don’t have CCP reciprocity laws like we do drivers licenses.

njwineguy@reddit
Some much BS around manly guns. Yay. So cool. So brave. So fng unnecessary.
redditor012499@reddit (OP)
lol it’s just a 9mm calm down
njwineguy@reddit
So you’re saying if someone stuck it in their mouth and pulled the trigger or put it against their temple or a toddler found it and pulled the trigger while looking down the barrel, or some middle school kid played around with it and fired it at a friend nothing would happen? Cool. Thanks for helping me understand.
Iron_Patton_24@reddit
I mean cigarettes are unnecessary, alcohol is unnecessary. Juke food is unnecessary. You get my point, many think can kill you and aren’t needed.
Yet we still allow people to drink, smoke, and eat themselves to death.
njwineguy@reddit
Junk food and cigs don’t kill others. Neither they nor alcohol can’t be used to slaughter a classroom full of children or a spouse if someone gets mad. You’ll need to try harder to find a reason other than your misplaced fear and insecurities to justify the need to own a gun.
Gun culture in the US is a sickness. You’re part of the problem.
redditor012499@reddit (OP)
Safety is on, and I keep all my guns locked away
njwineguy@reddit
Okay. I’m sure you’re a responsible gun owner. My point is that they’re unnecessary and no matter the size, can kill and injure - otherwise, why have it? They’re just unnecessary.
Bbqandjams75@reddit
It has been a huge increase of loads getting broken into at my company and also entire loads being stolen . We are living in desperate times be prepared!
that_one_erik@reddit
Fuck the load if they’re desperate enough to hijack a truck they can have it
Iron_Patton_24@reddit
Not if they’re gonna harm my ass. If they want to open it up and loot, sure. Shit can be replaced. Come near my cab with ill intentions. We’re gonna have a problem.

Eastern_East_96@reddit
When I was driving, I bought a shitty water gun from the dollar store and spray painted it black.
Point that thing at all the idiots, they apologized REAL quick.
legendarygarlicfarm@reddit
Literally the worst advice ever. That's assault with a deadly weapon.
Eastern_East_96@reddit
That's not advice numbnuts, it's a story.
Dekster123@reddit
A fake one at that
Eastern_East_96@reddit
Spray painting a water gun black?
That's the oldest trick in the book.
Dekster123@reddit
Yeah in 1990 old man.
Eastern_East_96@reddit
When you're in a truck and some bonehead cuts you off, you point a spray painted black water gun at them, they won't be able to tell it's a water gun.
legendarygarlicfarm@reddit
Great way to get shot by a real fucking gun. 100% justifiable too.
Dekster123@reddit
And what if they start shooting back.
Quiet_Molasses_3362@reddit

FlashyCompetition167@reddit
I’m getting into the industry soon… how do I legally carry on a company truck? Am I allowed? Is it up to the company? Any info is appreciated
thestug93@reddit
There's no law that specifically prohibits carrying concealed in a truck. However if you are over the road you'll have to comply with whatever the state laws are where you're traveling. Which can be a pain in the ass. Also some companies prohibit guns in the truck per company policy. Also many customers seem to have signs up that they don't want firearms on their property.
parwa@reddit
I'm sure different companies have different rules. I'm not a driver but I work for a carrier. I asked once if our drivers were allowed to carry and the response was "technically no, but I'm not gonna ask, and I can't blame them if they do". Take from that what you will.
FlashyCompetition167@reddit
Is it a mega or small carrier?
parwa@reddit
Mega
MadMysticMeister@reddit
Companies can have different policies, I’m with maverick and they simply don’t have a gun policy, and when I went out with my trainer he carried a handgun. I’m more of a war club guy myself though
FlashyCompetition167@reddit
Fuck it! I’m bringing my 12 gauge to training!! Nah I’m just kidding, thanks for all the info guys.
coldafsteel@reddit
There is no universal answer to this. 99% of the time its against company policy and/or illegal.
Regardless, a lot of people just do it anyway.
Wasatchbl@reddit
If the company says do not carry a weapon in your company owned truck, then guess what happens when they find out. I guess you can jump from company to company until you find one that lets you have your unneeded firearm. But then those are few and far between thanks to insurance. I've been driving 30 years and never needed one. You can go through these posts and you will find similar stories. The only time you need one is when you get angry and you want to road rage. Leave the gun at home.
stephenbmx1989@reddit
Eh nah we’re good. Better to have it when you need it and just don’t let anyone find out at the job which is ez and you’ll be fine.
Safe_Fail_568@reddit
Don’t ask don’t tell man
redditor012499@reddit (OP)
Depends on your state. Are you local? I’m local and my state allows carry, so I am ok. Company wise, my life matters more than what they pay.
FlashyCompetition167@reddit
I’m going OTR when I start (after school). So I’m guessing it will be different. Is it still doable when going OTR?

What they don’t know won’t hurt them. Rather lose my CDL on the slim chance they find a handgun then to be caught with out it, especially with all the swine that’s out there.
Freightliner15@reddit
There's a company in Oklahoma City that's is 2nd Amendment friendly, and you can carry on the truck as long as you have a CCL.
