You realize our own truck drivers are forbidden weapon by DOT regulations ? TRuckers are robbed at truck stops ,loads are hijacked,etc. But the driver is denied the means of self-defense and risks loss of his job and prosecution if he protects himself.AS do workers in many factories or other businesses.

About the only worker who can have a weapon is the owner of his own business.Lawyers,insurers,and "safety" experts all collude to pass laws severely penalizing firearms,knives,and they are even now going after the large metal flashlights as something which must be eliminated.

Few people realize just how successful the socialists have been in denying and villifying self-defense.

Reuters, Maersk cannot confirm status of hijacked ship

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Maersk Line President John Reinhart was unable to confirm on Wednesday that the hijacked Maersk Alabama container ship off the Somali coast was back under control of the U.S. crew.

"A lot of speculation is going on. I believe it is premature to comment on that," he told journalists on a conference call.

He said at about 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) he received a cell phone call from the crew saying they were all safe. "

Supposedly they were going to hold a press conference at noon in Norfolk (I think)

Self Defense = Vigilantism.

Justice = Liberal Judges.

I deal with a lot of over the road truckers at work.

Many, if not most, of the good ones are armed.

Had quite a few gun chats over coffee with some of them.
