• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Those of you that Concealed Carry on your Spyder, what type of holster do you use?

On the bike, I wear an Aerostich Darian that has 2 large chest pockets. both waterproof, would fit almost anything!
 
1st off, I carry every day, all day, no matter what. When riding it's either in my jacket pocket or in a inside pocket of my jacket. It's in a pocket carry holster.
When I stop it goes into my right front pants pocket. When on a longer trip's I also carry my 45 OWB.
I have thought of an ankle holster and might try one of those for riding.

I take it that you do not attend church sevices.
 
Anyone who carrys while traveling should have this. TRAVELER's GUIDE. Phone number 859 491 6400. $15.95. It the best money you can spend the gun laws in all states they keep it up dated every year and they also have up date thoughout the year on e mail. Also www.gunlawguide.com. keeps you out of trouble you don't need or want '
 
Always concealed, never open carry. Either a small revolver in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster in the right front pocket of my jeans or an OWB holster, appendix area. Drawing and using your gun while riding is more Hollywood than reality. You want to be able to stop, dismount and quickly access your firearm if seriously threatened and unable to just get away.
 
I use a Sneaky Pete Holster OWB. Left side as I am left handed. There is a free app called Legal Heat that lists any states that recognize where you can legally carry. Also I am a member of US Law Shield. They will provide a lawyer in any state if you need one if you used your pistol for self defense.

Definitely in church. Largest group of unprotected citizens around on Sunday morning. All with their back to the door. Hopefully your church has discussed security measures.
One of the pastors here conducted a survey one weekend. Asked how many members would be interested in joining him at the gun range. After observing them at the range, he allowed most of them to carry in church.

We attend a different church (but know that pastor). My son carries virtually all the time, I do occasionally. My son has talked to the deacons and pastor at church to ask their opinion on the matter. Their basic feeling is "as long as you are on our side, we don't mind. I have since had conversations with a few friends and found that they carry in church, too.

.
 
CONCEALED CARRY IS JUST THAT, CONCEALED. It's nobody's business but yours.

You also have a legal right to transport your firearms through other states, so long as they're unloaded and in a locked box with the ammo in a separate locked box.

Oh, and don't get caught in New Jersey with hollow points.

Let’s add to this discussion, do you carry with a round in the chamber or not?

I conceal carry when riding via a pocket holster in my front pants pocket. Those I’m with never know I’m carrying and I never open carry. I generally do not carry a hot gun but I wrestle with whether I’m making a mistake by not having a round chambered, would like you’re thoughts on this subject as well since we’re talking carrying while riding.

With my 1911. it is always loaded, cocked and ready. Safety on of course. Everything else always has one in the chamber also.

Everything is always concealed.
 
Carrying in other than Condition 1 limits the effectiveness of such carrying. And no one needs to know that you are carrying. Be the "gray man".
 
Back in the day when I was still on two wheel I was carrying my Glock, round in the chamber, and on my belt outside. Well, I laid the bike down on a curve and landed on that side. Fortunately, the gun and holster where fine, (underneath my leather jacket that was not fine.) But man, that gun pushed into my hip bone ad caused a big bruise. So I believe in the safety of handguns, but I do feel I need to rethink WHERE I carry.
