Lorimor...I am not expert, but seems like I've heard OTR truckers are prohibited by Federal Law to carry guns.

bullit, you got my curiosity up with your comment because most truckers I know carry a gun in their trucks. Did some googling and found out it is a hot topic.

Can a CDL truck driver legally carry a gun in the truck? This is a very HOT topic! In my previous article, “CDL Truck Drivers Carrying Guns,” much controversy was created because nothing could be found anywhere showing any Federal Law stating that it was illegal to carry. I have pointed out that there is NO Federal Law saying that it is illegal, only city, county and state laws that make it illegal to do so, as well as policies set forth by the motor carrier. I have found the actual Federal Law revealing the insight on this subject, listed below:

Interesting.

i have a cdl, it is legal to carry IF you go by any city or state laws, and don't forget company rules.
Lorimor:
So an OTR driver rolls into Lincoln, legal with their CCW permit from out of state, legal all the way and when he reaches a NE business who prohibits, he or she has to disarm prior to entering the parking lot? How do they learn of this ahead of time? Where do they store the firearm in the interim?
Other states have their laws written so that the parking lots are a "safe zone" even if the building is posted.
Nebraska needs to get this worked out.
