Title: guns on a motorcycle
Post by: Swannytheswan on August 11, 2011, 11:41:21 PM: would it be legal to have a rifle on my back on a motorcycle if it was unloaded and had the ammo in a pack or something?

Post by: Swannytheswan on August 11, 2011, 11:57:37 PM: I don't see why not either but I don't want trouble and pistol open carrying is legal anyway I know that but wasn't sure on long guns and I don't have a concealed carry permit yet.

I like the scabbord idea. Secure and lockable.

Here is the link to Kolpin.

Post by: Swannytheswan on August 12, 2011, 12:42:22 PM: cool thats what I thought but I wasn't sure. I have a '01 ninja so not great for mounting things to.
I would like to get a mount but the reason I am riding instead of driving my truck is my wife doesn't have a job right now and money is tight so I can go driving a hr away in my fullsize truck that sucks the gas so I don't have money for a mount.

H20hunter I have though about a side car for my next bike if I could get my dog to where googles it would be awesome I have a english bulldog and he would cool in a side car. :IBCOOL:

He knows that if I shot such a beast while moving I'd end up in the ditch anyway.

Post by: Swannytheswan on August 20, 2011, 10:35:17 PM: well I've made to successful trips to my hunting spot without getting pulled over I have passed 6 cops without a second look! I want a scabbard though. Still it save a bunch of money getting 55MPG rather than 15MPG :yike: :yike:
