What is the Commercial vehicle gun law in fl?
A gun is not allowed in a commercial vehicle. This is a federal law and does not differ from state to state. ---- ACTUALLY, the FMCSR does not address the issue of guns in commercial vehicles. The existence of a federal law prohibiting firearms in commercial vehicles.. if it exists, I have yet to find anyone whose been able to cite it, and I've found nothing in repeated searches of the FMCSR pertaining to firearms. However, you still have the matter of what your company will and will not allow to deal with, as well as what your customers may or may not allow. In most cases, you'll find that your company, your customers, or both are going to have regulations in place disallowing you to have a firearm in your vehicle or on their property. ---------------------- The only federal laws pertaining to the transportation of firearms and explosives across state lines (federal jurisdiction) only pertains to the US Mail in that it is illegal (gun control act of 1964) to transport firearms, explosives or hazardous materials through the mail. (this does not preclude parcel services like UPS or FedEx.). Commercial vehicles on a regular basis transport hazardous materials, explosives and firearms in every state in the union. Commercial drivers in the various states must obey the laws of the individual states through which they pass, otherwise. ------------------------------ Actually, you CAN ship an unloaded rifle via the USPS. Handguns, however, are prohibited from being shipped in this manner.

How are commercial vehicles distinguished from private ones in US law?
Commercial vehicles are defined as vehicles that are owned or registered to a company, instead of an individual. Additionally, heavy vehicles, vehicles used to carry hazardous substances, or vehicles able to carry more than 15 persons are also classified as 'commercial' even if privately owned. In order to drive a commercial vehicle, you need a commercial vehicle driver's licence. This imposes some extra responsibilities, such as informing your employer of certain convictions.

Can you lawfully carry a firearm on your person in a commercial vehicle?
Yes, in accordance with the laws for transporting firearms in each state which you're driving through. Your firearm is also subject to the laws of states you're stopping in, originating from, and destined for. E.g., if you're originating from, stopping in, or delivering to a state with a 10 round magazine limit, you're subject to that law.It's a common rumor that a federal law exists which prohibits firearms in commercial vehicles - this is 100% false. There is nothing in the FMCSR or CVSS which addresses the matter, except to say that a loaded firearm may not be transported as part of the cargo.
Are air guns allowed on commercial vehicles?
Sure. You can have a real gun, too. The bit about the supposed federal law prohibiting firearms in the CMV - entirely false. I'll bet you a week's paycheck you can't find this supposed law anywhere in the FMCSR or any FMVSS guidelines - because it does not exist. Laws for carrying a firearm in a commercial vehicle are the same as they are in any other vehicle, and these laws vary by state. Now if you're prone to delivering on military or government installation, or if you cross the border into Canada, I wouldn't recommend it.
