I'm concerned about all these gun posts...

I'd hate for something horrible to happen just because someone pulled on the door handle of the wrong truck. I mean, do you know how many white Freightliners there are in a truckstop at night? So instead of carrying a gun make sure you carry two guns so you'll have a throw down gun if you shoot somebody. Then rehearse these lines for when the police get there. "I was afraid for my life" and "he was coming right for me."

Oh yeah, the epidemic of truckers shooting people! Can't remember a week that's went by when I haven't heard about the trucker murdering epidemic./

firearms are only a last resort if there is absolutely no other way and your life is in danger.. this sub has proved many other leathal options like the deadly flip flop.. or a flip flop with a nail in it.. or kick it up a notch with a bottle of acid trucker pee... or if you are really bas ass, the wd-40 / hair spray flame thrower..

Well, it *could* literally happen without guns, but it’s a lot less likely with a knife. I’m a gun owner myself, and I’m sure that a mistaken fatality can happen a lot faster with a firearm. A guy could be dead before he got through the first syllable of “sorry, wrong truck.” I hear that argument a lot: a psycho with a knife can kill as easily as one with a gun. Maybe, with skill, training, proper stance, and a stationary victim. But it’s pretty obvious that a gun is much better at killing than a knife. To argue otherwise is disingenuous, in my opinion.

Somebody literally unlocked the door and opened it with their key this morning on my white freightliner, my dogs scared them but my immediate thought was damn that's a good way to get shot

Fortunately for me, there aren’t too many beat up white Peterbilts peppered in dead bugs pulling a set of non-matching (Reddaway/Roadway/Yellow/USF) trailers at the average truck stop. Even then, I check the truck number before trying to open the door.
