How to carry on a motorcycle

[Scout]

I couldn't carry like this.

Mad Dog Handgun Mount - Motorcycle Superstore

LOL, I need that. Go riding through downtown and see how fast you get pulled over, LOL.

But I dont know about you but my CC license says it must be concealed. And transporting a firearm in a vehicle its supposed to be in a locked case. And since you cant hunt from a motorcycle (unless you handicapped), this really has no useful function.

This thing would go great with the apehangers on the heritage!! Ha......IWB for me on the bike, if the t shirt blows up so be it.

Not a bad set up. A little bulky though. It looks like it can be adjusted various different ways. It wouldn't have to ride in that position. You could postion it lower and closer to the tank.

 

[Revelations]

You'd think they would atleast use a holster with a little more retention.

I take it that you have a out of state permit and are not a permanent resident of the state of Indiana?

Nope im a Indiana Native. At least the DNR rules say that all firearms must be in a locked case during transport. Unless you are transporting to your place of residence from place of purchase. My paper work for the CC states that it must be concealed as well(even in my vehicle), so maybe im just missing something....

Checked with the Indiana Handgun law book and it says the same thing. What am I missing?


Article 1 section 3 (page 12 in the book)

A person shall not carry a handgun in any vehicle or on or about the person's body, except in the person's dwelling, or on the persons property, or fixed place of business, without a license issued under this chapter being in the persons possession."

Im pretty sure that makes the said holster highly illegal if you don't have the CC, and since the CC paper work states it must be conclealed it makes it illegal alltogether.

Am I missing something odvious here?

What is the CC paper? As far as I know the only thing you can get in the state of Indiana is the LTCH (License to carry handgun) which does not specify how the gun has to be carried. I'm fairly certain in Indiana if you have your LTCH you could carry your gun on the dash of your car if you where so inclined.

As far as I know, the DNR doesn't have anything to do with it. and the only thing Article one states is that you can't have one in a vehicle unless you have a LTCH. Which I take it that I could put a sweatband on my head and tuck my pistol in it if I wanted to.

 

[22lr]

CC = Concealed Carry (sorry I guess that my own little abbreviation).

Ok ya that's weird my paper work (for application) states that im applying for a license to carry a concealed firearm on my persons or in my personal vehicle. But the law doesn't mention concealed at all, it just says you MUST have a license (on your person) to have a firearm in you possession.

Ill have to bring my paper work back from my office and look over it, maybe I missing something, but I could swear it specifically says concealed.

Ill look it up before I go further on that though.



Edit:

I was mentioning DNR just for hunting purposes but I didn't make that clear. If you are hunting you MUST have you firearm unloaded, and in a secure locked case.

That said go get a copy of "Indiana Handgun Law," it explains things a lot better than im trying to. Its a 320 page book if that gives you any kind of idea on how involved some of this stuff is. You can get a copy at the 1500 gun show.

100% positive my license says "LICENSE TO CARRY HANDGUN" and directly below that "STATE OF INDIANA" but here are some more things you should notice. 1) to start off the picture appears to be an ATV(notice the thumb throttle) which would really complicate things since Indiana state law states

Off Road Vehicles
IC 14-16-1
Chapter 1. Off-Road Vehicles
IC 14-16-1-23
Restrictions on operation
Sec. 23. (a) An individual shall not operate a vehicle under any of the following conditions:
(1) At a rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper having due regard for existing

(2) While:
(A) under the influence of an alcoholic beverage; or
(B) unlawfully under the influence of a narcotic or other habit forming or dangerous
depressant or stimulant drug.

(14) An individual shall not operate a vehicle while a bow is present in or on the vehicle if
the nock of an arrow is in position on the string of the bow.
(b) Subsection (a)(9) does not apply to a person who is carrying a handgun if the person:
(1) has been issued an unlimited handgun license to carry a handgun under IC 35-47-2; or
(2) is not required to possess a license to carry a handgun under IC 35-47-2-2.

But should be good to carry on your motorcycle, but would be kinda awkward for me since a BG would be able to see you reaching for it when in need of it.

I carry an S&W Airweight in a Galco Ankle Glove on the outside of my right ankle. I doubt if I would engage anyone while riding. The ankle rig could be accessed once the bike is stopped. I usually carry a G23 or something heavier in my trunk.

Now don't feel as if I'm picking on you or anybody else, I just get truly amazed on how many people apply for a permit and fail to find out what it allows you to do with it.

 

[JByer323]

First off, yeah, that's an ATV.

.22LR... not trying to be a dick here or anything, but uh, are we talking about the same Hoosier state here?

I'll have to look, but I think the DNR actually changed the ruling on carrying a handgun for protection while hunting. I also believe that having a handgun in a holster complies with "secured". They just don't want you flying through the woods with you shotgun above your head shouting "FREEDOM!"

(I have never done that........exactly.)

If I am riding bitch with John Conner I normally carry like this:

Back when I used to have my H.D. I used to use a Fobus paddle holster under my hoodie or jacket. The Kydex is great for vibrations, sweat etc etc... Then again, you don't get any vibrations out of a Harley! I loved that bike but had to sell it because I saw too many people get killed or seriously hurt. It almost always wasn't the motorcycle rider's fault either! It's the season again so save a life and watch out for motorcycles guys!
