Carry On A Motorcycle?

[djbigskrilla]

Hey folks. I'm pretty new to the handgun world. I have been around them most of my life and I am planning to get my CCW later. I do currently open carry in my truck which I know is legal, however, I am wandering about on motorcycles. I do own and ride and would like to carry if it is possible. How does this work if it is even legal?

Do I have to open carry as I would walking around, or can I place it in a jacket pocket or pants pocket? Any info on this would be very appreciated. Until I get any kind of info I guess the piece will have to sit in the house/truck.

Not legal to put in you pocket without a CHP

Hermit that is a sweet setup. Too bad that wont work on my bike. Though I may be able to find or make something similar. Charlie12 Thanks for the info. As I figured it wouldn't be legal to carry in the pocket without the CHP.

What about backpacks, or saddlebags? My old rice rocket had the convenience of a small trunk, Harley has nothing other than my bags.

I've made a couple of tank bibs that held pistols.

But they would definitely be considered concealed.

It's why...

It's why I got the permit. Riding to some destinations, the wife and I have been on some desolate roads and I always wondered about having mechanical problems where we had to wait on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Not paranoid but, cautious.

When you get pulled over, please do not video it and put it on youtube...

I like the idea, but have two issues (maybe one depending on if its a different lock setup)

1: Muzzle is pointed at EVERYONE on your side. Even with the gun in a lock, with no one handling it, that would still aggravate me if i had a 12ga pointed at me.

2: (maybe) if its the same lock that we use, it can be opened with any standard handcuff key.

Damn...Then I'll just put my scatter gun in the saddle bags and put my ice chest of IBC Root beer on the luggage rack:}

I just took a bike trip to Pigeon Forge and had my FNX 45 in my tank bag the whole way. I do have a a permit though. I don't know if motorcycles are treated like cars or trucks ,being an extention of your home. Might want to research that a bit. Also, other states aren't nearly as lenient about carrying in a vehicle anyways. A conceal carry permit negates these issues in most cases.
