Armed bike riding

RE: Armed bike riding
In the summer time I carry a fanny pack for my Glock 26, one 15 round mag, and a 17 round mag from my Glock 17. The rounds are Federal 9mm +P+ Ammunition. The Glock 26 is my off-duty. In the winter time I carry my Glock 17 in a shoulder rig under a jacket. I am getting the leather vest with the holster on the inside for the summer.

since we appear to be well versed in our rights to bare arm, please let me remind you to qiuckly and prudently make love to the earth worm in the proper maner when the nice police officer sees your added equipment and politely askes you to drop! thank you a south carolina deputy...

[blockquote]From what I've read so far I'm really surprised that Colt or Smith-Wesson hasn't come out with a "Harley-Davidson" model like Ford has.......would sell like hot cakes??
BTW.....Got 'em, know how to use them...but can't carry them....YET.[8D]

I am with you brother on that one. The same goes for Washington, D.C. When I get pulled over the first thing I do is tell the officer that I am a Police Officer and have my duty weapon with me. Then I listen very carefully to what he says. I would expect the same respect in return.

Wow, are all you guys really that insecure and paranoid that you have to carry a gun when you ride? To say you carry "just in case" sounds like a weak excuse to me. I grew up on the streets of South Philly where the so called Mafia supposedly don't exist. Yeah, there were plenty of knives, chains and tire ironsduring my younger years but thosetimes are over. I've grown up. I've been riding for 40 years and have never had the need to defend myself with a gun. Furthermore I have never witnessed a situation where a cyclist needed a gun for any reason.
I have a feeling cyclists that carry are in the minority.
I know you guys are my fellow brothers but I just had to voice my opinion so don't flame me to bad.
You may be thinking that I am anti-gun legislation but you would be wrong. I just don't think it's smart to ride your harley with a piece staped to your side. God forbid you go down and land on it. Serious damage can be caused to say the least.
Most of you have never drawn your weapon and you hopfully never will so why carry it in the first place? Maybe to feel tough or to mask an insecurity? Only you can answer that.
