    I wonder what the laws were in the early 80's. I took a 15 week trip on my Yamaha Virago 750 through several states a year out of high school. Had a small tent, couple changes of clothes a pocket full of hard earned cash and an old 1911. I think I spent about a week and a half toting that thing throughout the whole of California. I reckon I was an outlaw back then...my how times have changed.

    I lived in Cali for my time in the Infantry at Fort Ord in the mid 80's.
    Rode around on my Honda 650 throughout the base and beyond.
    Even rode it to Louisiana and back two times.
    And yes, I carried a 1911 as well.
    No issues and no worries.
    Yes, times change.
    :(
