Carrying Concealed

[jimnsusie]

Lot of good info here. I believe in protection. We should be able and ready to take care of business. As a retired state police officer I have learned to practice personal safety whether packing or not

[SAPD911]

My .380 Ruger fits perfectly in the spyder front cubby. I used this for long trips. Just don't forget to take it out,

I have had my CCW permit for over 40 years... I carry either a Glock 26 in a Galco ankle holster or a Glock 19 inside my waistband in a KingTuk holster depending on my attire & weather... I strongly recommend if you plan to carry... do it 24/7 and everywhere that it is legal.. and be dam sure you can proficiently shoot your weapon..... your life and the life of your love ones will depend on your ability to eliminate a threat... the 2nd thing I put on in the morning is my weapon... and it is the last thing I take off at night ... I shoot over 2,000 rounds a month.. I participate in competition shooting matches every weekend so I hit what I shoot at..
Oh.. forgot to add one more thing... ALWAYS have a round in the chamber... an unloaded pistol is just a rock !! it takes about 2 to 3 seconds to rack a round in the chamber.. those few seconds may determine if you live or your assailant lives !
Happy Hunting !

My preferred method of carry is a shoulder holster, under my riding vest. That way, the gun is always in my possession, not on or in my Spyder, and possibly accessible to someone else, like an aggressor. I have a 2" barrel S&W Model 15 for this purpose . . . and because I like wheel guns.

I use the Sneaky Pete holsters too.

I take a Ruger LCP .380 with me every day. Most often in a pocket holster and inside my coat. In the summer it slips nicely into my back pocket. Double action semi-automatic. No safety but comfortable carrying chambered because of the deep trigger pull.

I also have the S&W model 60 - love it but extremely heavy; Model 19 Glock - won't carry chambered; and Springfield .45 Ultra Compact 1911 - I don't trust remembering the safety in a pressure situation. The LCP with hot loads is my choice. ...Don

P.S. I don't carry a chunk of steel in the small of my back after learning that an acquaintance broke his back after being thrown.

For those of you that carry concealed, we have a travel bag that we are now offering that has a concealed pocket and fits perfectly on the RT dash, between dash and windshield. We tested this setup in 16 States last year and it worked perfect. Easily detachable from the bike with both a carrying handle or a shoulder strap, it allowed me to carry my valuables and my electronic goodies away from the bike if we were stopping to visit something or getting something to eat. It even has a quick access area you can get to with gloves on that you can get toll money out. Made it super easy. We buy these from Targus and my wife does several hours of sewing to make them "Spyder-friendly. I will post a link as soon we get a few ready to sell.

Sorry, some of us haven't been here for 8 years and don't know who has what company.

Thanks, now I know

If you carry:
1) make sure you get trained in combat shooting--start on a target range then go to a combat range.
2) make sure you shoot and re-train regularly. Ability to shoot is not like riding a bicycle--it takes constant practice.
3). Make sure you have it in your head that you can kill another person--not everyone can--and if you can't, there is no shame--just don't get a gun because someone will take it away from you an use it on you.
4) combat changes you, you must be prepared for that.
5). A small caliber gun is easier to handle than a large caliber--especially at the short distances in a combat situation. However, they do not make you feel as macho. A gun is a tool. A gun is not a statement.
6) decide if you might be better off with pepper spray. Remember you are unlikely to be assaulted--even in bad neighborhoods, and when you are monpving, ie. Not stopped at red lights, the liklihood of an assault drops even more.
7). By the way, did I stress training enough. Merely because someone was an excellent shot 15 years ago doesn't mean he is today.
8). If you get in a combat situation, make sure to watch the background where most of your bullets will end up--you probably don't want to injure a bystander.

In my vest it has a holster built into the left inner pocket.

How about an new saddle (seat)? And since we are talking about a 3-wheeler you could have one on each side for a double-draw!!

​Good post. 8 out of 10 people are in more danger when they carry. They feel secure when they carry but hesitate to use or not sure they should use it. If you are going to carry make sure you can make split decisions without hesitation and know when to unholster the gun. Make sure you are in imminent danger and there is no other way out before pulling the trigger. Reality remains could you actually shoot another person? Food for thought.

No permit is required to carry concealed in Arizona now. I still keep my permit active as I have for 45 years because of recip. out of state.
