It's kind of a meaningless list as there has to be at least 10 million registered motorcyclist in the us.

Motorcycle owner.
Gun owner.
Eagle Scout.
Clergy.
Veteran.

Been on lists since I was 15. Unless you are patched, the list is meaningless.

Maybe, maybe not.

But consider this:

Cops aren't ON the lists. They HAVE the lists. They get to use them.

This explains why you don't own any white hats.

Now read this as a European who doesn't understand your abbreviations...

Try having a California CounterClockWise (stupid [blonde playing]hard to get) riding a motorcycle and wearing a patched vest [you mean it was torn and you had to sew it up?] (british policeman on the beat with a tape ruler... Radio Controlled here in SoCal)

I assume CCW is a "permit for concealed carry of weapons"... which is the oNLY way you are allowed to carry here in Europe, unless you are in the open countryside and are returning to your car after a hunt, with your shotgun slung over your shouldre and/or "broken open" (you know, when you have a double-barrel and you open it for safe carry)

I do realize you guys have an issue with outlaw MCs and "bad guys carrying" in general terms...

...which perhaps might be curbed if Federal and State laws demanded all purchases and private transactions of weapons and fundamental parts thereof to be registered with the State (just as you do with a car or motorcycle... it's just a simple statement saying "I hereby do declare I have bought/sold such&such serial no. to ...)

Similarly, if Federal and State laws demand you pass a driving test to drive, why shouldn't one pass a safety course for handling and shooting ? Fundamental to apply for a gun permit CCW or otherwise, without which you cannot carry ?

It isn't a matter of "stripping" a citizen of his rights to the 2nd Amendment, any mnore than a driving license strips the same citizen of violating the Right to travel.

It would save the law abiding citizen of a LOT of hassle...

AND

"I only brake for Jesus" also helps... or...



Even the cops will smile ... (I hope...)  

@mpescatori I forget this forum is worldwide sometimes. Yes the CCW is a concealed permit. California in all it's glory does not accept this permit from any other state in the US. I moved here having had it since leaving the military because most states will accept your DD214(exit papers) as document for the permit. It took 5 years and befriending a high ranking officer in my area (he also owns a 60's era vw like me) to help me move up the list.

Stereotypes are just that. I've had my vest on in gas stations and had ladies pull their kids closer to them. Had older women clutch purses tighter. I don't have a big belly and a beard cause I wanna look like an outlaw biker I have it cause I like food and happen to be a chef so I have it at my disposal 60 hours a week. And the beard was just because I reached a point in life where I got tired of shaving!

I'm use to having strange looks though. My wife is black and my kids are bi-racial and I look like I could have just come from a brotherhood rally.

And don't buy your hair tonic from a bald woman. Or man.
