Ok, not really, just thought it was a cool title. Anyways, over the last few months I have noticed several people on motorcycles open carraying. Is that legal on a bike?

LEO's?

Not legal for you and me!

[RPB]

you beat me to it as I typed

probably legal for a certified peace officer

[stealthfightrf17]

Even in civilian clothes. I thought they had to conceal off duty

[AEA]

Not by Law. Only by Policy of their Department.

Oh, I thought you were acting a personal servant to a retired British general.

Good show, jolly good show!

is it possible they are carrying OWB and their shirt is blowing up as they ride? probably not entirely legal, but we don't have a 'flashing' law.

[stealthfightrf17]

Defenittly not the shirt blowing up at least in the 2 instances I remeber the most. They were both tucked in shirts and OWB holsters. And both 1911's. One was exactlly the one I want. Wonder if I see him again if he will just give it to me.

Could have been traveling. Not defined in law, but generally precedent holds that if you're crossing a county line on a journey you don't make of at least weekly frequency, you're traveling.

Outdated info - the traveling text was re-written year sago and more clearly defined. Still has to be concealed though.

Most departments don't allow open carry while off duty. Even those in CID must wear their badge/gun and under a sport jacket provided they are not in uniform. If you think about it, how often have you ever seen anyone open carrying in Texas, without a badge?...never. Otherwise he might just get a CHL/LEO pistol shoved in his face.

I've only seen it rarely, but I have seen plainclothes LE open carrying. Last time was in the middle of a crowded mall no less, with just a badge on his belt. Nobody else noticed or if they did nobody freaked out about it.
