Two arrested in ME for gun possession

[Daedalus]

January 8, Associated Press – (Maine) 2 truckers arrested with guns at Maine Navy yard. Police say two Pennsylvania truckers are facing charges they tried to bring concealed weapons into the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery. The Maine State Police says the handguns were discovered during a routine inspection of the truck at about 6:30 Thursday morning. The vehicle was carrying welding supplies into the Navy base. Both men were released on bail after appearing in court Friday. A Maine State Police lieutenant says the two had permits to carry concealed weapons in Pennsylvania, but not Maine. He says the two worked for a small trucking company from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

This is not my understanding. Could you provide the PA DOT regulations for this?

There is no Federal regulation forbidding a gun in a commericial vehicle. This is a common misconception. There are trucking companies that have company rules regarding firearms.

my buddy who used to be a cross-country trucker said the same thing....he's from Oregon, though.

Did I miss the link to the regulations? Why is it when someone posts a myth, then someone else asks for a cite, others have to post what their buddies/dad/ex-girlfriend's uncle told them? Sorry to use you as the example A18, it has just been getting on my nerves....
