RE: Do you carry a gun when you ride?
I've wondered about that. I'm a firearms buff, but don't bother carrying. If I were to go over, that sidearm would cause some serious broken ribs if I landed on it. Then there's no room under the seat and you couldn't really get to it quick enough if a problem were to arise. I guess a tank bag would be a good solution.

I have been in a few situations where I seriously considered bringing it and or keeping it on the bike. But the more I thought about it, the more I was thinking its never a good idea to pull it unless u plan to follow through...and the way the law works, at least in Il...the person with the gun is always automaticly guilty no matter if you were being robbed or whatever. That being said I just leave mine in my desk in the event of a disgruntled employee lol

I carry a 9mm Taurus 24/7 4" with me most of the time. I use an inside the pants holster and carry in the small of my back or on my right side. It becomes visible most of the time, but that's ok. Most of the public assume people that carry guns are bad and stay away from you while you are riding. Its funny how many riders are hit because people never see them, but everyone notices the ones that are packing.

I'd never carry a gun on a bike, not only is it going to break your ribs or worse in a crash but I can't see of a situation where I'd need it. I'm not stupid enough to go tooling around the ghetto so I can get robbed (and I'd carry a knife if I was worried about that) and in a traffic confrontation, just taking off is always going to give you the best results.
