Between road-raging drivers, sketchy rest stops, and would-be criminals, many truckers face multiple life threatening incidents throughout the course of their careers.<\/p>\n<p>A firearm is the obvious choice for self-defense, but many truckers hesitate to carry. The reason? The patchwork of concealed carry laws throughout the United States make it virtually impossible to carry a firearm across the country while remaining in compliance with the law.<\/p>\n<p>But some truckers carry anyway\u2014and for good reason. A survey conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overdriveonline.com\/danger-zone-truckers-stick-to-their-guns-despite-state-variance-in-gun-laws-overdrive-research-reveals\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"truckers-concealed-carry-national-reciprocity\" title=\"Why Truckers May be the Key to National Concealed Carry Reciprocity\">Overdrive Magazine<\/a> found that 73 percent of truckers have been in a situation in which they were unarmed but wish they were armed.<\/p>\n<p>Seventy-six percent of respondents have felt themselves to be in danger while driving, delivering, or parking, and nearly a quarter have actually been attacked.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these high numbers, only 33 percent of survey respondents say they have a concealed carry permit that allows them to drive with a firearm. Some trucking companies don\u2019t allow their drivers to <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-june-backcountry-carry-solution-sig-sauer-p320-xten-10mm\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"truckers-concealed-carry-national-reciprocity\" title=\"Why Truckers May be the Key to National Concealed Carry Reciprocity\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"6034\">carry firearms<\/a>, but Overdrive highlights the difficulty truckers face if they have routes in all 48 states.<\/p>\n<p>Some states acknowledge other states\u2019 concealed carry permits, but many do not. According to Overdrive, troopers have the right to search a commercial truck without cause, and if they find a firearm they may bring felony charges. Military bases and Native American tribal lands also strictly prohibit firearms, and don\u2019t even think about bringing a firearm into Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Ignorance of the law isn\u2019t an excuse. Truckers need to be well-versed in each state\u2019s firearms laws and conduct themselves accordingly if they want to avoid fines and penalties.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently two bills in the U.S. Congress that could remedy this situation.<\/p>\n<p>The first is called Michael\u2019s Law Amendment, named in honor of Michael Boeglin, an unarmed trucker who was fatally shot and burned in his truck in 2014 in Detroit. This <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/constitutional-carry-bill-heads-to-desk-of-kansas-gov-sam-brownback\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"truckers-concealed-carry-national-reciprocity\" title=\"Why Truckers May be the Key to National Concealed Carry Reciprocity\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"6033\">bill would create a federal concealed carry<\/a> permit designed to allow truckers to carry across state lines.<\/p>\n<p>The second bill\u2014dubbed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/national-concealed-carry-reciprocity-bill-introduced\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"truckers-concealed-carry-national-reciprocity\" title=\"Why Truckers May be the Key to National Concealed Carry Reciprocity\">Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017<\/a>\u2014would allow anyone with a concealed carry permit in one state to travel to any other state with their firearm. Introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., proponents of this legislation point out that drivers licenses are honored in all 50 states\u2014why not concealed handgun licenses?<\/p>\n<p>Truckers, perhaps more than any other demographic, understand the value of this legislation. While most people would only benefit from the CCRA three or four times a year, truckers would constantly be using their expanded right to self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is still a long way from passing, but it has the support of this nation\u2019s road warriors: according to another Overdrive survey, more than eighty-five percent of truckers said they would support the CCRA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between road-raging drivers, sketchy rest stops, and would-be criminals, many truckers face multiple life threatening incidents throughout the course of their careers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":70344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"manual","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,593],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-70343","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-jordan-michaels","9":"tag-buzz","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6.1 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why Truckers May be the Key to National Concealed Carry Reciprocity<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A firearm is the obvious choice for self-defense, but many truckers hesitate to carry.
