Concealed carry on a RT - which holster?

[jegarh]

Have any of you used the Hopnel H41-152CC EZ Carry Pouch? I don't like to have to fish out my LC9S from the glove box in full view of the usual gawkers when I have to leave the bike. I suppose I could just stick the Sneaky Pete holster that I have in the glove box and then just hand carry it if I had to. I like the handiness of the EZ Carry Pouch. I have a set of Hopnel bags and they are well made.

i either carry in my inside jacket pocket with my goldstar pocket holster or the ryker tank bag.

Why not just leave it at home, assuming that you’re just out for a ride and not a holdup job?

I wear BMW City Pants, I carry in one of the pockets. That way it is with me all the time.

I carry concealed for personal protection. Since I never know when I might find myself in a situation where I need to defend myself, my firearm is not doing me much good sitting at home.

I have not left my home without my pistol since one week after my 21st birthday when my ccw showed up. You just never know.

I have found that it is a waist of time to try to explain the value of a CCW until that person or friend of that person finds themselves desperately wishing they had one. I carry a spare tire & I can't remember the last time I needed it.

I would not carry a handgun in any sort of bag or other arrangement affixed to the bike, if your primary goal is to protect yourself or passenger from death or great bodily harm. If you are separated from the bike (say, for an example, as in a vehicular hijacking or some other attack that knocks or otherwise causes you to be off the bike), your handgun is worthless to you and may well fall into the hands of your assailant. A handgun properly and securely concealed on your person remains under your control and subject only to your commands. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that you are always fully compliant with the laws of any jurisdiction that you may be riding in.

If you're going to carry, carry on your person.

I use a holster that clips behind my waist belt concealed.
Hope this stays civil so we can have a normal conversation about CCW.nojoke

I believe a rough translation to this song is: "love faith and peace be amongst us all."

It's a great thought, but when people all over the world are trying to kill each other with trucks, knives, bombs, guns, and whatever they can get their hands on, it becomes a great wish. It has become a world wide mindset that violence is the new cure for people that don't believe the way others think they should. This new age of violence has several roots; religion, nationalities, race, class, culture, etc. We have lost our humanity.

I'm on the side of those that just want to live our lives and tolerate others. I also believe that you must be able to defend yourself and you have a right to do it. You cannot count on the authorities to always do it for you. There's an old saying I learned as a police officer, "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away." I always conceal carry.

I have a question, and it's not about whether to carry or not to carry.

When would you actually draw your weapon? This is for those that actually carry. I was going to present different scenarios, but decided to keep the post short. If you're going to say when you feel threatened, can you be more specific?

If we can keep this friendly, without getting nasty, calling people out, etc....we will let it run.

PS. We leave mine at home. I know there are many others out there that do carry all the time. That is fine with me.

The usual, with a gun thread, is that it turns South quickly. Now we well close it down quickly if it heads that way. Fair warning I hope.
