Laws regarding carrying while riding a motorcycle

[jtcollardjr]

I'm having a hard time finding out if there are any laws that might stop me from carrying a handgun while riding a motorcycle. None of the South Bend officers have been able to answer this. Can anybody help me?

No laws against carrying other than the obvious. You need a LTCH to carry a handgun. You can carry a long gun without one. There have been one or two threads in the past about folks carrying on their bikes. If you have a LTCH you're good to go. Open carry or concealed.

Motorcycle = motor vehicle

All gun laws applying to motor vehicles, apply in the same manner to motorcycles.

Do you have your pink card?

If no card, no carry.

If yes card, then carry with pistols duct taped to helmet.

Bikers are not, by any means, allowed to carry firearms. They are all hooligans and definitely not "proper persons." You may carry on a moped.

Strap it up and ride, dude!

Just watch out for Officer Maxey!

Not sure if I want some of those moped riders carrying. There is a reason they are on mopeds and its not cause chicks dig them.

I went for a ride after I got home from picking up my new 37mm flare launcher, and I went right after work, and still had my Glock on my hip. I carry everyday, and didn't even think about concealing it, now mind you, I'm 350lbs, hair to the middle of my back, both my arms have tattoo sleeves, so I look like "that type" of "biker". Not one thing said, or done other than a few nods. Strap it on and hit the wind.

YES, my LEO buddy calls mopeds, DUI transportation .....

The law for motorcycle riders: Don't go shootin' no one that ain't need shootin'.

-J-

 

[FireBirdDS]

Just don't use any cheap loosely goosey holster

 

[Bigtanker]

Fun fact: Ever wonder why Indian motorcycles had the throttle on the left handle bar?

It let police use their right hand to shoot while they were riding as most of the bikes were designed for patrol.

Just do us all a Favor... Be sure to carry a beat up piece that won't make everyone on INGO sick if we have to see Pics of nice guns that have road rash from not being able to avoid the 10 billion pot holes on our roads these days...

Just so that we're clear, scooter =/= moped.

I rode my scooter two hours to meet an INGO'er. Bought the rifle, secured the soft case to the scooter and rode home. And of course, my .45 was OC as always when I'm riding.
