Where did you get this from?

What is confusing is they say, it is a CPL violation if in "possesion of a firearm with a BAC of .02-.079", then they say "a BAC greater than .08".

I've heardif you are CCing and blow over a .02, it is a violation; but if you are OCing, and not in a PFZ you can blow up to a .08.

You have to actually read the cited law. The summaries don't explain the law accurately.

28.425k is speaking of a concealed pistol under authority of a CPL.

Items under the authority of this law require a Bill of Ladings. Items that require a Bill of Ladings go in the box behind the truck. This does not cover personal belongings in the vehicle itself.

For some reason, I couldn't type that outside the quote box. My computer must suck.

not sure what you're saying here, but here is a response from a firearm in a CMV

This responds to your letter regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171- 180) to the transportation of a loaded personal firearm lawfully
carried by a commercial motor vehicle operator while in the performance of his or her duties.
Specifically, you ask whether the transportation of
such a firearm is prohibited by the HMR under the “forbidden explosives” clause in
§ 173.54(f).
The answer to your question is no. Unless otherwise specified in § 173.54(f), a personal loaded
or unloaded firearm lawfully carried by a commercial motor vehicle operator is not considered in
commerce and therefore not subject to the HMR. Under this scenario, a commercial motor
vehicle operator who carries a personal firearm while in the performance of his or her duties is
subject to local or State jurisdiction regarding such matters. This response has been coordinated
with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
173.54(f)

It's a rebuttal to "
[align=left]480.17c Firearm as forbidden explosive in a Commercial MV(49 CFR 173.54f)[/align]
", which is commonly referred to as the law that makes handgun possession in a CMV illegal. That quote contains both the MI law, and the Federal law. Both say the same thing.

There is no law written anywhere that says your CMV is any different then your POV when it comes to carrying a weapon. I have been through inspections and actually stepped out of my truck with my pistol on my hip. As soon as they see it they ask if I have a License to carry and that's the end of it. I have been hassled a few times over the years by <idiot> LEO's but never arrested or sited for it.

Thats great to see.

But still, notice the OP, it's a "cheat sheet" for LEO's. It seems as though they are being taught that it's still illegal for a CPL holder to carry on a CMV.

My point in posting the above is simply the way misinformation is spread and is continuing to be spread.

Now that that's been put to bed, now on to the other subject highlighted.


[align=left]28.425k(2)(c) Possession of a firearm with a bodily alcohol content .02-.079[/align]

That's disturbing. Is this conjecture, or genuine? If genuine, where did you find it?
