I see conflicting posts about "stats" on guns through this topic. I think if you're going to give these "so-called stats" then you need to provide a reputable site otherwise I'll choose to ignore the statement.

I will say that from what I've read, there isn't a lot of accuracy in the statistics because alot of them come from polls and not hard data. I'll also say that regardless of if I'm carrying, I'll do whatever is in my power to protect my family.

Side question pertaining to this topic, if you do carry how do you carry on the bike? Shoulder holster under a jacket, In the waist band front, Small of the back, Jacket pocket etc. etc.

I carry and usually prefer IWB (In the Waist Band) Front, but a few times I've thought if I ever do get into an accident what carry spot is the least likely to cause harm if I strike the ground or anything else where the gun is Huh

No real way to know until after the crash... depends on what and how you hit...

A helmet designer once said something to the effect of,...
"I can make a perfectly safe helmet, just tell me exactly how you are going to crash"...

I carry a pocket gun, irrespective of the activity involved. If I get dethroned, having a PF-9 in my pocket won't make much diff one way or the other, I would think.

There was one rider named Susan (CobbersMom) who used to post on Reeky (rec.motorcycles), whom I gathered was the wife of a dairy farmer. In her sig she had the statement,

Feminine Protection:
Light days - Glock 27 w/ Crimson Trace
Heavy days - Ruger Redhawk .44 mag

She would be one tough customer to deal with! Wink

Carrying a gun is a good way to spend the rest of your life in jail.Thats if you don't get killed.

Is everyone that carries a gun a criminal? I carry a small derringer just because it fits in my small pocket nicely. I used to carry a colt 45. I do live in TEXAS. I would say 50% have a bigger gun on them than i could carry. Up where you live there are more animals than people & believe no one should own firearms. But some of the people in a major city are animals as well.<----Where I live.

Bill.........Not carrying is a good way to spend the rest of your time 6' under. Everyone get's to make choices, obviously, you've made yours just as I've made mine. Your only option, when someone is breaking into your house is to call the local police and hope they arrive within 20 minutes.
I prefer to "negotiate" from a position of strength rather than a position of weakness. Telling the "intruder" you've just called the police probably won't illicit the type of response your hoping for. On the other hand, the muzzle flash from a handgun or shotgun just might get their attention.

You could be right Bill. The real question is, if your wrong, I'll be prepared and you'll be standing there with the telephone in you hand, soiling your step-ins, as you try and explain to the perps they should leave because the police will be arriving within the next 10 to 60 minutes....... maybe.
