just get a little holster and strap it to the handlebars. then if some dumb bitch pulls out in front of u all u have to do is reach over grab the gun and put 2 through her windshield and that'll teach her not to pull out in front of bikers ever again

my bad, sorry to jack your thread, i just couldnt help throwing in a little sarcasm lol. but u have to admit if someone did put 2 bullets in ur windsheild u would definitely think twice about pulling out in front of bikers...but on a serious note, im not even 21, so i cant even have a concealed weapon.

One thing to keep in mind. What happens if you crash? Many of the standard places for CCW would be bad in a crash. Don't want anything like that in the small of my back or near my ribs if I go down. Ouch.
Also, finding a place that is easy to access is hard. Picture this. You are all geared up, jacket zipped up, gloves on and you need the gun quick! First you have to take the gloves off (throw gloves at bad guy?), then you have to unzip the jacket, *then* you can try to whip it out....all while sitting on the bike, either in motion or parked?
If you keep it in the tank bag, you can never ever leave that tankbag alone. Can never keep it on the bike while you go into the store for a quick break, can never leave it on the table anywhere it might get stolen. You might as well be a secret service messenger man handcuffed to his breifcase. Or you have to somehow transfer it from the tankbag to a holster with no one noticing.
I think 99.99% of the time, just twisting the throttle is a better solution. But there is always the 00.01% No easy answers.

i 100% agree with you to an extent, you have awesome reasoning, but those of us who use bikes as daily transportation, you want your firearm with you when you get to your destination for the day.
BTW: psst, invest in a good ankle holster

I know what you mean. I use my bikes as my primary transport as well. Of course, transporting the firearm someplace is totally different than trying to keep it as a viable option while actually on the bike.
Ankle holster is a great idea for some. Don't think it will work with my Sidi Vertigo Corsa boots though
Maybe a teeny tiny one shot, hehe.In some ways, carrying concealed limits your options. Everything you do, and everywhere you go, every action and reaction you have, has to take the fact that you have a gun on ya into account.
Like I said before, no easy answers.

Maybe get some gloves that are thin enough to be practical. These are kinda like mine. I love them...

and maybe a chest-mount holster? I doubt that a chest holster would effect your body in a fall. Then, all you have to do is un-zip, and then pull.
