 Packing while riding...
I carry concealed often while riding. On the Spyder, does the glove box get too hot for concealed weapon in it? Haven't been on any long trips on my 2013 RT Limited yet, so was wondering.

Our glove box gets real hot. I dont think it would be a good location to keep it. IMO

I have a 2011 RTS and have carried my LCP 380 which fits perfectly in the zip case that comes with it. Since BRP insulates the later RTs with foam, it is not hot when carried there. But don't carry your butterfingers there. If your ammo is ready to deploy at 150...,I don't want to be near you.  Just sayin'.

Carry my s&w 380 in the glove box all the time. nNo prob. & easy to get to, also legal if not on your person in Ohio.----Budro

I carry mine on my person if I have it while riding.
-
Short answer, no. It's going to take a lot more heat than what's transferred to the glove box to cook off a round.

The heat is not my issue. I don't like where it the pistol points when in the glove box. I am currently working on making a holster for the frunk / trunk and the left saddle bag. If not on me that is one of 3 locations I have it.
-
If its not on your person or within reach where you can grab it in less than 2 seconds then you are transporting your weapon, not "packing" it.
I'm not trying to be a wise ass, I just want everyone to realize that in the frunk or a side bag is too far to be useful in an emergency which is why you are carrying in the first place, right?
-
When I carry mine it is on my body, either in my vest pocket on in a shoulder holster. I am looking at a dash pouch that is sold that would fit my 380 and maybe my glock 29sf 10mm.

I do agree. On long rides it can be nice to "transport" from time to time.

I have an ankle holster for my PT22.

Agreed, I'll admit to transporting on occasion because just like I'm not an ATGATT rider I'm also not an absolutist when it comes to concealed carry.

Always carry on me. .45 is quite comfortable in a small slide holster. I only transport in SC ...
-
the glovebox is a toaster oven....
as others have said, carry it on you, OR, if you have a backrest, you could always put it behind there

Since my riding jacket 'has shrunk' in the last year, I find myself carrying my Sig P232 on my side since my Glock 23 won't fit.
Sometimes I also transport my pistol(s).

why transport only in SC? SC has a concealed carry reciprocity agreement with my state, NC, as well as GA.
-
SC does not have a reciprocity agreement with Ga. NC does with both SC and Ga. The point though if you carry concealed the weapon must be under your control. If you left it on the bike and needed it why bother carrying? Remember when seconds count the police are minutes alway!

Carry
I carry a Ruger SR22 in the front pocket of my Olympia MOAB jacket. My Glock 17 will also fit in there.
They are large pockets.

If you are a resident of FL and have a permit, you are good in SC. BUT if you are NOT a resident of FL and have a FL permit, you can not carry in SC. Go figure?
I have permits from GA, FL and UT.

1911 Officer's in Galco King Tuk IWB at 4-5 o'clock position. Sometimes Taurus PT145 in same position, or in a shoulder rig. Occasionally a Ruger LCP .380 or a Smith & Wesson .38 +P Airweight dropped in a pocket.

Try an ankle holster on the outside of your calf perhaps. My .45 is hauled around in a Galco S.O.B. (Small Of the Back), rig that I forget is even there...
