Re: Do you ride a motorcycle, what kind and how do you carry

I've had my CHL through three motorcycles now. A Bandit 1200S, Hayabusa, and currently a Goldwing. I have carried on all, but not OC yet, while riding. With the first two, carry was off body in a tank bag. The motorcycle gear I wore was not conducive to CC and I didn't really like or have a decent shoulder rig yet nor did I have a narrower 1911 to put in one for those first two bikes.

Now, with the Goldwing, CC in my normal carry mode, OWB would be easier to do and IIRC I have once, but I'm not completely sure about that one time either. However, since I also now have a 1911 and a decent shoulder rig, when I do carry while riding that is the method I normally employ and it is fairly comfortable.

Just a friendly reminder, my wife does not really like OC very much, so I don't push that button when we're together. And I'm not terribly comfortable with it either. I've expressed my misgivings about OC while riding in other threads in that basically I don't want to be "swatted" and have some yahoo call the police on me saying that I pointed my gun at them and since I'm OCing they would have been able to give them a description of that gun. Maybe that's a little paranoia, IDK. Either way, I'm not an ATGATT kind of rider, but I do wear my jacket most of the time and It is not suitable for OC. So, the only time I could OC, while riding, would be in the warmer times if I don't wear the motorcycle jacket or pants.
