Well i was wondering when this post might surface..i own 2 pieces of Springfield hardware that stay at home locked in a safe ..where i feel they belong.By carrying a weapon on a motorcycle we automatically give the public a reason to hate us more than they do and since we cant conceal carry in Illinois..its not worth the trouble ..just in case...my 2 cents...

Michigan is different than FIB-land. J/K Freek... gotta bust your chops! (For those of you who don't know what a F.I.B. is just ask a Cheesehead or a Yooper - and for those that don't know what a Cheesehead or a Yooper is, I'm sorry.)
Anyways - I don't think that carrying a weapon "automatically" gives people a reason to "hate" you/us. If you carry it properly, no one will even know you have it and there won't be any problems. Now if it's visible then that's another story. A few years ago I got my CCW license here in the Great Lake State so I can carry it pretty much anywhere (of course there are restrictions like schools, churches, bars, arenas/stadiums, etc.). And there was a big stink back when the state made it easier to obtain a license, people were up in arms about all the guns that were going to be carried around. But applicants have to take class and submit finger prints to the FBI so it's pretty thorough and legit. They aren't letting just anyone carry like it's Tombstone!
My opinion is: The people that are carrying guns with bad intentions are gonna pack whether they have a permit or not. So why not give the "good citizen" a way to defend him/herself by letting them fight fire with fire?
CCW laws are a lot like helmet laws... everyone has their point of view on what's "right" and "wrong". But I'm not a lawmaker so I just do what they tell AND allow me to do - like carry a pistol!

I guess I should have lived in Grand Rapids longer to learn the lingo. Cheesehead, I think, is someone from Wisconsin (no offense intended). The rest of it sounds like Charley Brown's teacher talking.

Best point of view on the matter that I have ever heard!! If your a criminal, watch out, cause some standing around you might give you a bad case of lead poisoning if you f**k up.

Three weeks ago..... I should add it was work related, and involved a very angry pitbull belonging to a crackhead. I wish more people carried and gave the criminals something to think about. I refuse to carry on my back in fear of spinal injuries if I go down. If not in a tank bag, I try to carry as close to my armpit as possible... (Springfield sub compact XD .40 )

Why illegally cary knuckles when you can legally cary BLING Gloves? Don't they have metal knuckles?

i am an absolute firearm freak. there is even a picture of my modified glock 23 in my photo gallery. if/when i carry while riding, i carry a walther ppk/s. small and somewhat powerful (up close) and many options on where to keep it. i use an underarm shoulder harness or an inside-the-beltline holster on my back. i've even used an ankle holster before.
a question for the members who keep their firearms in the underseat storage: how in the world do you ever plan on getting to it in the rare case that you would need it?
and by the way, i've never pulled it and never felt the need to. i stay in areas where i believe that i will never need it. i started carrying a firearm while riding after being bitten by a rabid loose dog on a backroad on a pedal bike. and i still explore those same roads on my dual sport bike.

I currently have a Springfield XD9...I mainly bought it for target at the range cuz a few of my friends were hanging out there and it was somethin' to do. Although I havent thought about it for sometime now...I was actualy thinking of getting some tiny lil snub 22 or something like that to cary on occasions where I would feel a little better if I had something on me. Anyone have something like that and are they worth the 3-$500 I immagine they cost? Are they worth carrying or U think a pellet gun would have the same effect with less trouble with the law?

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.
lol i dont know where you live, but out here, violent crime is about average with other big cities, the difference is almost every one of them results in murder with a firearm. you get shot in the face just so you dont put up a fight while they take your money (just happened last week to one of club dj's) now it may be a little extreme out here in the murder capital, but regardless, if im riding in new orleans, im giving myself the means to protect my life if need be.

Super RR...Faster than a Speeding Bullet....probably not but really hard target to hit after 7k rpm....as for carrying...only occasionally and always concealed (CCW License AZ); and becoming less likely to...can't stop into a bar for a cold one after that long ride with your pistol on, and no place to secure it on the RR.....and hard saddle bags are just wrong....as for a good place to carry it....try a belt holster or paddle and carry it in the back...never had and problems with that.

Personally? Never. Had a few "friends" get mixed up in that mess but not me. Had a gun pulled on me in high school (13 years ago) and it wasn't the coziest feeling in the world lemme tell ya! And seeing as though Saginaw isn't Munchkin Land (15 murders in the first three months this year), I feel a little safer keeping my piece in my truck or in a holster. If I end up on the wrong end of a bullet... at least I gave myself a chance. Maybe.
EDDIE1000RR - Well I honestly think that if you're gonna carry a gun, I would stay away from anything smaller than a 9mm. A .22 will only do damage at a close range and a pellet gun ain't gonna do anything besides make someone even more mad!! If you want something smallish, look at the snub .38 specials. They pack power and they're loud - still need close range though.
My $0.02.
