I ride a dual-sport, but I do not open carry. I CC a .357 Mag snub in the tank bag. If I leave the bike, I tuck it into an inside jacket pocket.
 
Sweet!!!

I usually carry crossdraw or in an inside vest pocket, but this totally rocks!
 
Well. No open carry here. Does one in the pocket count when riding the Dyna?

P.S. Love the sheriff car in the background.

The law for travelers has existed for a long long time.

It says you can carry your weapons as you like - if you're travelling.

"Open carry" = on your person

Out of all of the states, I would have thought Texas would have been one of the last to ban open carry...

Sorry, but the RECENT clarification of the traveling defense is worded so that the handgun must be CONCEALED! The good thing is that LEOs must now presume a motorist is traveling. The negative change is that the handgun must be concealed. Don't take my word for it; look it up!

I am not a lawyer, but do enforce the law, so these Penal Code updates are part of my training. My copy of the Penal Code is in my locker at work, and I am on vacation, so I can't quote the relevant words, but I am sure of what I say. (FWIW, I am pro-2A and in favor of defensive carry of firearms, 2A or no 2A.)

Carry of handguns, open or concealed, was made illegal about 1877. Concealed carry was not reinstated until Governor George W. Bush signed the CHL law in the 1990's. One exception during that time was the "traveling defense," meaning that one could claim to be traveling, and therefore able to carry. An LEO cold choose to believe the claim on the spot, or could arrest, and let the defendant tell it to the judge. Of course, the latest update to the traveling defense is that it is no longer needed; nobody needs to prove they are traveling in order to carry a handgun inside one's motor vehicle, assuming they are the owner or operator of said motor vehicle. OK, enough of laws and politics, back to the topic. :)

I like the ensemble in the photo!

Cool pic, and I do ride and carry a revolver. Either a 10-8 4in, or a nib Serurity Six (from 1975) Also 4in I am getting tomorrow.

But I ride this:

That's one sweet looking saddle!

Edited to say I do ride, and carry a revolver, only concealed.
 
Wow, though I would never mount a gun ON the bike that is a beautiful saddle. (and bike)
 
How about motorcyclists with revolvers! Or semi autos!

deleted -- <Sam> Neat idea and execution though. Seems like a Winchester 94 would be more appropriate for a gun on your "steed". Single actions are supposed to be on yer belt, pilgrim. I suppose good luck hitching even a carbine on that low riding oddball machine.

I've been looking for a better way to carry while on the bike.... hmmmm
 
A very nice rig. The saddle is perfect for a totally "cowboy" look. However, I wouldn't be all that comfortable drawing that much attention to my bike or myself. I'll keep my Ruger snubby wheelie in the vest pocket.

Hiyo silver!
 
Pretty cool and more tastefully done than most custom bikes nowadays. Would like to see a pic of the whole bike. They shoulda used nickle cases on the ammo tho.
