It looks like that story has been rewritten since I last read it. The original said that the assailant had to beg the victim to stop shooting at him, because his gun was fake. It turns out, that it was not.
Most governments these days frown on those who chose to protect themselves. I would LOVE to have several guns on my truck. My "short" shotgun for protection, a deer rifle and my "regular" shotgun. Then I would have most of my firearms needs met and have LOTS to do on weekend off!! But alas, FEDEX says that is a no-no and it is not worth the trouble in certain marxist states and countries who prefer that everyone remain a victim.
For the most part "FUN" is illegal" in those places as well. Smiling bans go into effect on Jan 25th, 2013.

Effective way to be killed!
It's better to have that option for the situations it's effective in than no options at all.

It would be foolish to use a gun to protect the freight, even if the State or substandard carriers didn't prohibit it. If a driver carries a gun, it should only be there to protect himself.
The driver in the OP was an idiot for telling the cops he had it.

It is THIS simple in my book. No freight or truck is worth the lives of my wife and myself. NO criminals life is worth anything if they are a threat to innocent lives. I would shot to kill without concern for ANYONE who threatens our lives or the lives of other innocent people.

1) California will charge you with a felony if you do so; 2) it's a violation of federal law to use wasp spray in a manner inconsistent with its labeling; 3) the efficacy of wasp spray as a self-defense tool is highly exaggerated.

That's in the Suckeye State, land of rogue cops. That notification is unique to Ohio.
The wording may be unique to Ohio but not the requirement to notify. Michigan requires an individual who is carrying a concealed weapon to inform police if stopped.

The Federal Firearm Owners Protection Act mandates that no state may prosecute you for having a firearm in your possession if:
• it's legal where you're coming from;
• it's legal where you're going to;
• you keep it locked up, inaccessible to the driver, separate from the ammunition.
But then again, getting that enforced may cost you a lot in legal fees. Like the Bill of Rights itself, many states view it as optional.
"Must be 18, some restrictions may apply, not available in all states."

If it's not in the wording, then what is the basis for the requirement? A whim?
The CCW law in Michigan requires that a person must inform police that they are carrying if indeed they are. There is no "required" wording. The basis is to provide protection for both police and the individual. I think it is silly but that is the law.
There is an old saying that I truely believe in these days. I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Everyone has their own opinion on this matter it is just a shame that some of those opinions infringe on others beliefs. "Outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns".

Those "other opinions" are NOT infringing on beliefs, they are infringing on our RIGHTS!!!

Crazy-@$$ rust belt states...
I think you would find that many of the States that have CCW laws have similar wording in them. I think that CCW laws are in themselves unconstitutional or at least unneeded. We already have a right to carry in the US Constitution.
That is wht i typed and meant however, my smartphone had other ideas
