So at some point in the next few months, I'll get my TN HCP and return to the world of armed citizenry. Since I lived in NC and had a permit there, I've acquired a bike and become quite addicted to riding it anywhere I go when the weather's good. So I've been thinking about how I'm going to work carrying and riding together.
I normally carry IWB in daily life, and I'd like to stick with what's worked for me, but I'm not too thrilled with the idea of carrying on the bike. I have experienced the joy of rolling through the dirt at highway speeds, and the thought of doing that again with a chunk of metal under my hip bone isn't a good one.
So far, the best thing I've come up with is to use my tank bag any time I want to carry, and just unholster and stick it in the bag while I'm riding. If I did that, I'd probably get some kind of cheap holster to put it in just so the trigger would be covered. Of course, that leaves me with the issue of holstering and unholstering in parking lots, trying to be discreet. I don't think there would be any legal issues with this, as a TN HCP allows the holder to carry openly or concealed.
I know we've got some other two-wheeler fans around here- what's your approach to this?
