I work 2nd shift and usually ride after work for a while, til 1 or 2am. My 9mm is in the windshield leather pouch within quick access. We have two 1% rival "clubs" that have had a couple shootouts lately, and tension between them is still rather high. 4 from one club live on my street and the rival's clubhouse I pass by to and from work......so yeah I'm always packing.

I carry all the time and just ride part of the time. But on the bike the weapo
n is in my saddle bag. I have the permit, but feel that in a crash the weapon may add injury to me. If in a crash I am disabled, the weapon isn't as likey to be taken from me.

I wear the leather holster empty, and the gun is in another in the saddle bag.

I don't envision any act of self defence, while also riding.

If I did, it would have to be for moose, and then I would have to have 2 AK's mounted just above the grips

My wife and I both carry with CCW. She a PT738 and me a PT 911 PRO. When we travel on the bikes we check reciprocity and abide by the other state's laws and put them in the bags. In the cage, we lock them in the trunk but either way, it's like American Express.

Motorcycles and firearms are two of my favorite three things I love to have around me a lot. The third one is loose, promiscuous women. I try hard for two out of three in the course of a 24hr period.

Another one is Johny Walker Black. It ain't in the top nothing. It's just gonna happen.

I have a CCW permit. Carried when I took my trip cross country by myself. Didn't care about laws in different states under those circumstances. Especially when traveling roads when no sign of life for over 100 miles at times. Don't carry all the time but carry when I feel the need.

No I wouldn't carry going to Canada. But then I wouldn't be alone either.

Do y'all pack a weapon when in your Cars & RV's also? Or just on the bike?
