Check your local laws.
In a car (in some states) you can carry as long as the firearm is either locked, secured, unloaded, out of reach of the driver or some combination of these. Some states require the clip/ ammo be kept a certain distance from the weapon sometimes secured or locked. Often this means the firearm can be locked in the glove box unloaded with the clip in the backseat. Since a bike has no lockable area out of reach of the driver and no real way to separate gun and ammo, you'd fall under the personal carry laws. Unless you have the gun in a locked case in your backpack (and probably even then) it's considered carrying a concealed firearm. A side note here. When riding you will not be able to stop at post offices, librarys, schools, any federal building or bar. ! Many states have laws prohibiting the carrying of a concealed firearm while in a bar or consuming alchohol. |

This thread would be much more interesting were it to discuss about the mating habits of the elusive Mongolian were-vole :rolleyes:

This thread has been done to death. We should just sticky a bunch of threads that keep repeating, a la advocacy & safety forum.

Until about 6 years ago I used to carry a gun everywhere, nowadays I just don't see the point - you have more of a chance of getting your ass in a crack from the law than saving it from some situation that is about as likely as lightning striking. First and most effective rule of self-defense - be aware of your surroundings and avoid trouble when you can see it coming. When you can't see it coming - brains and cool are your best defense. Now that I have opened my big mouth, I'll probably get my ass shot by a road-raged commuter on the way home.

If your local carry laws permit it, cool. If you’re in a dangerous area all the time, try to move someplace else. Otherwise, there are less lethal means of protection with sprays, etc.

If you aren't a cop, fed, or other then leave it at home.

Why do you ask? Are you planning to smoke a couple asshat roadies?
|
Geez atlpirate....you are off to a good start in the cycling world. You are not a fan of roadies, your nerves are starting to get to you in the traffic and you want to carry a gun. Remind me to never cycle in Atlanta.

If you have seen combat then you know darned well - when your number is up, your number is up - no sense worrying over it. Life is just too darned short and too darned precious to spend time worrying about **** happening that is beyond your control anyway.

Hey I live in the county with the second most per-capita permits to carry a concealed weapon county in the US! I never carry a gun and ride through some 7 (on a US scale of 10), worse areas in the city. Only slighly more likely to die by gun then car. You'd probably do better to wear your bike helmet in the car! Dont forget some of those gun deaths where caused by the victoms gun.

Man. I thought everyone packed a gun while riding these days........
This seems familiar. This is the same smart ass reply I said on the last gun thread. But seriously, is it okay to use the same oil on my gun as I use for my bike chain? |
