Excellent, my thoughts exactly.
.380 LCP, rear pocket holster, looks like a wallet.

+1, I think my SC CWP is good in 17 states, but I would still verify it.

My jacket has a great CW pocket.

Time was I would have said no not worth the effort but in today's changing world and society where your likely to get shot for 5 bucks or be some where some whack job decides he's gonna start shooting the place up you want to be able to defend you and yours that are with you.I would rather be safe than sorry any day, and yes you should be able to use it and have the ability to pick that moment in a split second or don't carry.G.

I carry a 2" revolver in the inside zipper pocket of my vest-no vest I use a belt holster or an ankle holster.

Thanks for all the posts. I've been thinking about a concealment vest (http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Cowhid.../dp/B0028QKRRA) so I don't have to spend $$$ on another pistol, like the pocket ones that were suggested. I'd like to save the $$$ for more chrome goodies!! Don't think I'll carry at the rally, just want something on me for the trip there and back. Does anyone have any experiences with one of these types of vests? Thanks again.

Dave

I carry every time I pull out of the driveway...regardless of what I'm driving. The Ruger LCP is ideal for the biker, always carry it in a pocket holster in one of my jacket pockets.

Never felt the need to I was always afraid of what it could lead to if things got outa hand.
Huh? I'm thinking that what it could lead to is you walking home and the other guy goes home in a box.

The sad thing is all law abiding citizens should have the right to carry...The second amendment gave us that right...Wake up America those rights are disappearing fast.

He is NOT asking for anyones advice on IF he should carry. He is telling you that he is going to carry and would like some friendly advice on which type of holster, vest or whatever is the most comfortable while riding. I have a IWB that I use most of the time but it is not that comfortable while riding. I think a concealment vest would be a good choice.
