The question of transporting a weapon in a truck was never the real
issue. The real issue was, could a driver legally carry such a weapon
and have that weapon available to him at any time?



Heck no... Your gun can't be in your driver compartment or you will be jailed, because it means you have an intention to shot our Mexican truckers.......Donchaknow brother?

If you have a problem with our Mexican truckers you have to deal with your Prez, not us..... Sorry amigo.....
