Do you carry when you ride your motorcycle?

[PinoyJedi]

I carry on my hip at 3 o'clock. The other day when I was riding my jacket got pulled up a bit and at a stop light a guy next to me got my attention and pointed out it was on full display. Thanked him and readjusted my jacket.

Do you all carry? And if you do, do you worry at all about brandishing or other concerns?

What's this brandishing you talk about?


I always OC while riding. It's pretty common that I see others doing likewise.

Always. AIWB, or if it’s really cold, Shield in the bib pocket of my Carhartt’s.

Why wouldn’t you carry? You carry everywhere else you go I suspect don’t you

I either shoulder holster carry left hand draw, or on my left hip my cz70 or 50.

Yep. It's in a cell phone type holster so it's not obvious what it is.

Good thing about Indiana, if it's showing or not, it's fine.

Where do you carry the rest of the day?

I approve of this post.

Ditto what everyone else has said above. Carry it securely (you don't want it falling out on the road) and don't worry about it.

Carry? While riding? Wouldn't that be just too much evil?

FIFY.

Haha, thanks for all the replies. This will be my first full riding season so I was just wondering.

 

[bwframe]

Maybe a new motorcycle jacket is in order? I like 3/4 length with a longer rear.

I don't even like a cell phone in my pocket when I ride. So if I carry, it's at 3:00. Or in the tour pack.

 

[russc2542]

Of course.

One thing to be mindful of when carrying on a bike is what happens to it when you go. if you do end up skittering across the pavement, remember you may be landing on/riding an extra lump.

I always carried while riding. Back in my riding days I the law in Illinois hadn't been changed yet to allow non-residents to carry, so I would stop to put it in the saddle bag or trunk. And on my Alaska trip I left it behind due to having to pass through Canada.

Other than riding through Canada or Communist countries like Illinois, I always carried.

Since sport bikes have a more forward lean to the riding posture, it happens sometimes that my riding jacket would creep up over my holster when riding the Busa. But I didn't worry about it, as it doesn't matter in Indiana anyway. That was never an issue on the Goldwing because of the more upright posture.
