Conceal Carry on bike?

jc1300 · May 4, 2018

I am seriously thinking of this option while riding. Am I just asking for trouble?

Tried it - A bit hard to remain Concealed.....I have vests that work...just don't like the way the reach is {but best of the bunch} I have a shoulder holster....Might be able to make that work better. These leg bags strap around the waist and leg. My problem is will the cops feel this is not really concealed? No problem in TN....but not every state we travel is so forward thinking.......lol

Glock 27 with a crossbreed IWB holster.

I have never had a problem concealing.

Every state is different so need to brush up before port of entry.I think that pouch-in LEO view would be no different than a womens CCW purse.Of course the problem with that sort of pouch is that it screams "it's simply the perfect style accessory love".But who am I to judge.

It can scream I love unicorns and Rainbows for all I care - I just don't want it to scream at the Highway Patrol "This is not considered Conceal." I just like where the weight would be carried - and access.....

Conceal seems to mean..prevent from being noticed etc. Looks like that set up covers that definition. Did you look at "Sneaky Pete Holsters"? What size firearm are you concealing? Small-Medium?

Old Road Dog · May 4, 2018

Yes I would agree that pouch fits the definition of concealed.Thats unless one has X-Ray vision it can't be determined what is in that pouch.But cops don't need xray.They have probable cause.If you really want that pouch go ahead and get it.Its nobodies flippen business what ya got in there. At least here in N.C. we are required to notify law enforcement that we are carrying concealed when interacting with them.Nosy people-just tellem to screw off.Ive been a 1911 guy since a little kid.Love em.But when it's hot and I'm riding I carry one of those "micro pistols".Lifes full of choices.

Thanks again for the input - Just since the move to trike - haven't been able to find that "almost forget it's there" comfort. Inside has never felt good to me - and other than the heavy leathers, my jacket/vest etc. will sometimes ride up - and just don't need that to happen out of state. Again - Thank you for the suggestions

Not sure what model you're trying to carry concealed, but an ankle holster might be suitable...?:Shrug:

desertclassic · May 5, 2018

Whatever you carry, you must be able to get to the weapon with ease. I have different carry holsters, depends on what I am doing as to which holster I use. I carry a sig p238 when concealing.

Pocket conceal is good, but not for riding. IWB is not good when riding. I do have a small high forward position belt holster, second choice when riding. My best choice is the pocket holster in the cc vest. If I am not using the vest, my riding jackets have cc pockets that the pocket holster keeps from printing. Jim

+1 on that!

You just know if they accept this...

someone will split hairs and try to say this is concealed as well.

And the cops will nail the poor guy. Not a problem in Texas,

at least I don't think it is, but it would certainly not fly in

California, for example.:Shrug::Shrug::Shrug:

That is more to the point of my question. As in Texas, here in TN it would be fine as my permit is carry and not conceal. Thanks

CCW Bag

This is a link to the bag I use. I am able to carry my cell and M&P Bodyguard comfortably. Hope this helps.

NH is concealed or open carry. No permit needed.

Same with Maine and VT

CCW

I use a Sneaky Pete custom fit for the firearm I'm carrying. When on the bike, it's a Ruger LC9 with a Crimson Trace Laser. Looks like a carry case for one of these gargantuan cellphones people carry now-a-days. No hint its for CCW.
