RE: For those of you who "pack" while riding
i have permits to carry infla. and conn. and the best for such is the sig sauer230 , cal .380 , with 9 rounds .
it goes in your pocket and even in the top pocket of a shirt. and extremely accurate .
it is tiny but when needed is there ,and , no need to release a safety. it is released as soon as you press the trigger .

I live in a similar foreign country, Maryland, a.k.a. "The Free State". That has to be the most unsuitable state motto in the country.
When I carry my Glock22 on the bike, strictly to go to the range. I carry it locked in the tour pack and unloaded. I don't even know if that is legal. In a car it is supposed to be locked in the trunk. If I am ever in a life threatening situation I have a better chance defending myself by throwing a shoe at the guy as opposed to jumping through all of the hoops to getto my gun.

This brings up an interesting question... as a card carrying Glock man myself... if you pack when you ride, what is the preferred method? In the waist can be a little painful while riding... shoulder holsters are good until you need to take off the jacket when you stop for a while. In the tour pack or luggage makes it tough to transfer back to the belt in public without being seen..
What's the best solution?

I think that these are interesting... but could be a bit uncomfortable while riding...

I have a couple friends that have the concealable leather vest. The vest has an inside pocketthat has extra padding and a hole for the barrel to fit into. The only problem I've noticed with the vest is that the vest sits a little lopsided on one side. I believe my friends purchased the vest at a uniform shop.

Hey Ravens,
Maryland issues carry permits. You have to give them a reason, but they are available and don't take very long to get. I let mine expire like an idiot so I need to go through the whole thing over again. Just contact your local State Police barracks to pick up an application. They do regulate when you can carry and almost never issue a 24/7/365 permit. I was able to carry anytime I was working, going to/from work, going to the bank etc. so that covers most of my day. Like the Trooper said, just don't get caught with a loaded weapon at 3 am driving home from a bar etc. Do the application! It is your right!

Off the bike I carry a snubby S&W .38 Special in my pocket. More than adequate for all human relations tasks.
On the bike I have a .22 Magnum derringer loaded with hollowpoints I keep in one of the 3 windshield pouches. Fairly easy to get to when needed and also more than adequate for solving most problems.

Been carrying for about 40 years. I know, I got holsters older than some of you. Can't beat a Bianchi inside the waistband holster. Jeans and a T shirt over my 40 cal Glock 27 and you'd never know it was there. Love the smell of gunpowder in the morning.
