I drive a commercial vehicle. I have a cwp. I don't leave the state. Am I legal carrying in A commercial vehicle? sorry if I'm asking an old question, but, I'm new here and I'm just learning my way around.

Yes.......

If it's your truck...no problem.
If you're driving a company truck, know the company's policy (which could mean termination if firearms are prohibited)...then make your decision and keep your mouth shut.

First it is not a cwp it is a LTCF (License to Carry Firearms), 2nd If your employer allows the YES you can carry.

Thank you for your reply. can you show me or tell me where to find this information? I've argued (sp) this with many and no one has given me anything solid so far.

Generally speaking, laws prohibit things rather than allow them.

You won't find a law that says you're "allowed" to carry a firearm in a commercial vehicle.

You won't find one saying it's prohibited either....thus, it's legal.

If you have a cwp and allowed by your employer, then go for it.

Keep in mind (as noted above), that your employer may institute any policies they wish regarding firearms. Such policies are not illegal, and while violating them may not be illegal either, they most certainly can terminate your employment for failure to abide by company policy. If they are telling you they won't permit you to carry, don't expect to sue them over "your rights" and win. They have rights too.

Not only do you have to consider company policy (so that applies to Owner Operators that sign a lease contract) but shipper and consignee policy. Nestle in Fogelsville prohibits firearms so if you have an issue there expect your company to give you crap.

What is it you`re going to fight?
