Despite all of the laws and regulations it boils down to this. It is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Thanks Frank …. I’ve mentioned this many times before, that much depends on the state one will be passing through … here again is another site which is a good “trip planner” showing which states will honor the permit …

I have driven for Dunbar Armored & was licensed in PA but was allowed to drive & pick up customers in NJ, the only difference was we had to put FMJ & get rid of the hollow points as NJ bans all hollow points ammo unless you are law enforcement. Hope this helps you…

The law stated that you can legallly carry a gun providing the state you are going to honors your carry permit. You can find this information out on:http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/news/concealed_carry.html
For example, I live in PA, so when travelling through a state like NY or NJ my gun & ammo had better be locked up & seperated. If I have a FLA carry permit, I can drive locked & cocked from PA to DEL..hope this helps someone. I am a firm believer of our 2nd Ammendment right to carry.

Again, personal choice. So often, the law is against the law-abiding citizen and you never know how the jury will decide. You’re much braver than I am! …. Allen

It all boils down to a personal choice by the driver. Here’s a site that will show you which states you are traveling through will honor your CWP: http://apps.carryconcealed.net/packngo/index.php

We are looking into driving an armored transport. We worked for a company that serviced the military (DOD) with highly secured freight. We were required to qualify for a Secret Clearance through the DOD, but we were not, under any circumstances, allowed to carry a weapon. It was disappointing, to say the least. Now that we are looking into ACT we will be required by this particular company to carry. I appreciate all the information provided by this thread. I just have one more thing to add. I think I would rather take my chances with a jury on a manslaughter trial vs having to pay some sorry SOB for the rest of his life because I just winged the bastard.

In the past thirteen years that I’ve been driving I have seen the road to be an ugly place. I also have a CWP and carry where ever I go. I know that my state, SC and for what I gather a lot more states state that I person has the right to pretect themselves in their home, vehicle, and place of buisness. I don’t believe everyone has the common sense to carry but the good part of drivers out there can. I asked a DOT officer what he had thought about it and he said that he would definitely have his gun on him. But if you do dicide to carry, the lock bow is a good idea when you get out of your truck.

Notwithstanding means “Despite” or “In spite of”. If you still don’t understand, that Federal law allows you to transport a firearm across the country under the conditions listed, REGARDLESS of ANY state, city or county law.

There is no other way to interpret that.

This a follow-up to a news item I mentioned back in March of 2009 when a truck driver shot and killed an intruder in Knoxville, TN. The driver was not charged in the shooting of James Edward Hodges.

Even though the driver did not have a carry permit, the DA’s office said, “We weren’t concerned with that. We were concerned whether the homicide was justified or not. We determined that it was.”
