Concealed Carry on a Motorcycle

[Ed N.]

Accidental flashing isn't illegal in FL, but it can cause idiots at Walmart to tackle and assault you (happened a couple of months ago) so I try to avoid it.

When I used to ride I pocket carried a airweight j-frame.

I've been using a shoulder holster this spring and have put on about 1500 miles, so far it has been great. G19 or 26 in a Galco.
I'm also fond of the Blackhawk 3 Slot CQC holster, I like the SS/WS option though rarely use the weak side but on the bike the Thumb Break is important IMO.

Yeah, that happens even in open carry states occasionally. My sister-in-laws brother had an off duty cop try to grab his gun from behind. No warning, no questioning. He broke the cops arm. Hopefully taught him a lesson.

In my latest Milwaukee catalog I saw a big section on concealed Carry leather vests. I don't know if they're any good however, still jumping through my states hoops so I can even hold a handgun let alone worry about carrying it lol

Fox Creek Leather makes excellent vests and jackets that have an inner pistol pocket that will easily hold a .380 or small 9. I believe they make them for left or right handed carry. Look at www.foxcreekleather.com

Fella's;

I've been carrying on a bike for years, decades in fact. But, I'm a lefty and would encourage anyone considering the practice to become proficient with your left hand. However, I strongly doubt I'll need to shoot while on the bike. But when I get off there's no transfer fumble, leaving it angst, or exposure either. The carry is in a Milt Sparks IWB, and it's very comfortable for me, YMMV. The gun is an H&K USPc and I'm just an average sized guy. The bikes have varied over the years but the current one is a Ducati 848EVO. I do always ride in a leather jacket that covers it well. Yeah, it can get swelteringly hot, but I've also had road rash & learned my lesson.

I keep mine in my jacket. They also make vest for concealed carry.

I am not going to worry about my gun going missing in an accident. I don't carry a rare or overly expensive gun.

I also lock mine in the bags. Again not expensive. Plus why would anyone look your bags? I don't leave my bike in crappy neighborhoods though.

For me jacket, vest, or owb. Though I used to carry iwb in small of bike. Then I decided on my spine was bad idea.

I carry IWB, but I'm in an upright riding position-high performance KLR 650 .

I also have a Maxpedition Sitka Gearslinger bag I use for long trips and carry in that since it has a nice CCW pocket in the back.

I carry holstered in a tank bag because while riding the highest risk is taking a spill and having the pistol do harm that may not otherwise be done. If the transfer from the bag to the hip is going to be problematic at my destination I will carry owb typically. I've scraped enough riders off the pavement to not want to add complications if I can avoid it.

 

[johnnylaw53]

I always wear a vest when I ride. I have a s&w 642 that fit inside the left side inside pocket. Been carrying like that for many years works fine.

be safe

There are many options if the weather is cool enough to keep a jacket on but I live in Texas and typically just pocket carry a LCP when I ride.

I just put whatever i carry inside the breast pocket of my leathers, If i go down it isn't going to be in the way or cause me other injury,
