DOT regulations prohibit possessing a firearm while operating the rig. You can get a federal license to carry. But this was over 20 years ago. Not sure what changed since. There are no such DOT regulations. Lots of truckers carry but most necessarily keep it discreet due to company rules or custome...

If one is AWOL, do they get their per diem?

Someone made the point that even if the ATF is disbanded, the laws they enforce will still be on the books. Enforcement will just be assigned to some other agency. Better to get rid of the laws that are problematic, like the NFA. Congress also needs to take abusive regulatory power away from all go...
