We touched on this in another thread briefly, but I'd really like to know more about how some of you carry on your bikes (motorcycles). I've taken up commuting to work on mine but it's made it just about impossible to carry. I can't/won't take it into work. I've just decided to follow their rules on that. When I drove a car I locked my weapon in the glove box and then locked the car. NO ONE at work has even a clue that I carry.
So now on the bike, it's a challenge. When I go out for a ride, I'll carry IWB under my jacket. But going to work? There are some plastic covers that have locks. I could put a small J frame or even my Kahr in there but behind a PLASTIC cover?
I've even thought of trying to get a metal cover that locks so they'd have to steal the whole bike or at lease put the same effort into breaking into it that they might have to for a car.
As it is, I hate to leave a weapon in a car. My brother-in-law is an LEO and he hates the idea of anyone locking their gun in their car. He works in Chicago and says it's one of the things BG's look for when they break into a car and that they watch people parking in malls to see if they can spot someone who seems (from upper body movement) to be stowing a weapon.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
