Being a CCW holder.....

Ok ( being a CCW holder amd carrying everywhere I go) I was wondering being anyone has mounted a holster to their bikes for ease of reach while riding? If so id love to see pics.

NC and FL CCW laws state that the weapon must be concealed and on the person.

A holster would not be legal in either state. However, a pistol in my windshield bag is legal.

I only know about NC and FL because I have both CCW licenses.

I wouldn't want mine anywhere but on me. Not sure what situation you could be in where on the bike is better than on your person. You are not thinking you might have to shoot at someone from your moving bike are you?

I carry mine iwb front, left side since I am left handed. I guess my opinion is that I am going to need it when I am off the bike if I am going to need it. I am considering a shoulder holster but those look like a PITA to wear.

In the Peoples Republic of NY you can not open carry.
They are actually confiscating rifles in NY City now if they resemble their definition of and "assault weapon".
Any semi-automatic rifle having a removable magazine with one or more of the following features;
thumb hole stock
telescoping stock
second hand grip
pistol grip
flash suppressor
muzzle brake
compensator
bayonet mount
Grenade launcher
We all know these features are what make a rifle deadly
threaded barrel

I think I would be looking for a new "Republic" to live in! In Arkansas we can open carry. Conceal only with permit.

I have a shoulder holster and like it a lot, but it does take some getting used to. My Springfield XDM-9 came with a paddle holster so I use them interchangably. i've only "carried" on my bike once, and that was when my riding Meetup group (Southern Cycles) went for a 4-hour ride then rented the "Governor's Shooting Club" in West Cobb (near Atlanta) for a few hours. BTW...that place is friggin' nice and we had the whole place to ourselves. I've been to a lot of shooting ranges, but nothing that compares to that place. If you're near Atlanta and want to shoot, i'll be happy to take you there.

I decided not to renew my permit this year. First time since I turned 21 (I'm 37 this year). I normally renew for 3 years, but 5 years ago they increased to it 5 years for around $35. This year when I looked into it I found that our benevolent dictators have increased the fee from $35 ro $95 for the same permit, same time frame. I'm assuming that's the state's fault, but I'd love to blame it on POTUS. So I decided "screw that" and I no longer have my carry permit.

Yea, I have a real problem with paying for the right to exercise my rights. I can't think of any other right where you need a permit. Don't need a permit for free speech for example. I get they don't want criminals to have guns, I don't want them to have them either. But the permit and background checks don't stop criminals. They just hinder law abiding people.

That is exactly what the anti gun politicians want you to do.
They will try to make it so expensive for you to own/carry you will knuckle under and give up your right to own/carry.

Holy crap you guys?..............I can't believe what I'm reading here...............you carry guns??

Exersizing you rights is one thing but carrying a gun? Are things really that bad over there?

Gun laws are so tight over here that its almost impossible to own a firearm let alone carry one.
I recently got a licence for a 177 air rifle to keep the bunny population down on my 5 acre property. This is what I had to do for an air rifle licence:

Doctors certificate
Had to sit and pass a gun law/safety test with pass mark no less than 80%
Had to have a letter from a property owner larger than 10 acres that I can shoot on......my 5 acres don't comply so I'm already breaking the law. Shhhhhhhhhh
A complying steel gun case hard mounted to a wall with two complying locks
Proof and photos of the case mounted
Statement of where the keys will be kept
Ammo in a separate locked cabinet
Personal police clearance...........no previous offences
And a 3 month wait ....cooling off period..........and $240 processing fee plus a licence fee I think is about $95 per year.

Policy over here is if the bad guy with a gun wants it let him take it and let the police deal with it .............coz your dead a long time
Luckily guns on the streets around here are almost non exsistant.
You see we are real men over here................we fight with our fists and wood and bricks and stuff

Imo the best place to carry your firearm is on your person at all times in a place that's accessible. Murphy's law will have you needing it when you left it in your vehicle. I also have a very low opinion of shoulder holsters. Experienced cops don't use them. They look cool on TV but are ridiculously easy to take from you in a face to face confrontation. I would also practice regularly not only shooting but taking it out of your holster. Initially you should practice that unloaded, then later loaded but in a safe location.

I carry my Ruger LC9 in my jacket pocket, or if warm weather I stow it in my tourpak. I can open carry here, so I picked up a tactical thigh holster for my Springfield XD40 but have yet to wear it while riding. That should make a statement, don't you think?
