I agree with both the statements above. Glad you're okay buddy. Now next we ride together I'll have the nicest looking bike

I agree, save a aggressive rode like 555 for later in the season. Everybody is just coming off of winter and still rusty! Glad you're ok Brandon!

No that wasn't it, the story said the first guy was in a car, being chased by police, got rammed by the cop, jumped out of the car then jumped on the back of his friends bike. Not exactly sure why he was being chased in the first place. Just reread the story, now I'm confused, there is no mention of a car.

I'll be out at some point. Got a crazy amount of shit to do that day but riding is on the list! Hopefully the weather is nice down this way too!

do it. You know you like it.

Why why why would you get out and approach a car with multiple people in it, and then throw the first punch? Mr. Stupid got what he deserved.

Lots of good info here, thanks guys.

It don't hurt.

Yes, I mean during open carry, cause yes, that is the only time they would know and be asking for ID and your weapon. But like I said, I know when it came down to it I wouldn't argue with an officer and I'd hand it over but I'm just interested in knowing what they can/can not actually ask you to do and/or force you to do. Watching the videos on youtube are quite enlightening, very interesting to see officers schooled on the street by citizens legally carrying. I could never do that though , after all I don't have Brass Balls. <let's see who gets that one>

Yes! Or at least some ill-tempered sea bass

So, you're saying because it says "demand" that you have to give up your weapon, if they demand it? So what about when they "demand" your ID and you refuse on the grounds that you are not required to produce it unless suspected of committing a crime. There are 100's of youtube videos out there that have proven this "demand" to be unconstitutional and bogus, so why would it be any different for a "demand" to fork over your weapon, assuming you were not in the act of committing a crime and just minding your own business. Like Gunner said, I probably wouldn't argue this demand but its good to know where we stand legally in what we are required to do, by law. I don't know that it's "law" that you give up your weapon, so much as a courtesy to the officer, and a good way to avoid getting shot

No downside other than they can easily be knocked off since you're not dealing with a real solid connection.

Same here.

The quick connect is designed for permanent mounting on the battery, or at least extended mounting, such as all winter long. The advantage is you can put the bike back together and just run the connector out under the seat somewhere for quick connection as opposed to having the disassemble things to get to the battery.

Iron Pony has them.

If I comply with their request for ID I'd hope they wouldn't feel it necessary to disarm me.

Real easy to fix... fence in the entire property with a gate at the driveway to the lot. Install perimeter protection inside the fence so if anyone hopped the fence, cut thru it or drove thru the gate they'd trigger the perimeter alarm before even having a chance to reach the building. Not rocket science.

Lots of good replies here, thanks guys. I don't generally plan on open carrying, just trying to find the right concealed carry option at this time and like I mentioned one of the options was basically a partial concealment. If and when I do open carry, I plan on being 100% compliant with the LEO that will most likely show up at some point, at least as far as furnishing ID, I have no intention of giving up my weapon to them but I'll gladly give them my ID. All the videos you see on youtube with people getting harassed during OC have to do with them being difficult with the LEO and refusing to show ID. I've nothing to hide, therefore they are more than welcome to run my ID.

Lol yeah I wasn't going to go there. Anything made in the last 20yrs is probably gonna be negative chassis. But in his situation he's using the clips anyway, so black to black, red to red, done.

Welcome

Kinda what I thought, just making sure

I have a Uncle Mikes in-pocket-holster I primarily use right now, the gun is fully concealed like that but quite bulky so hence the experimenting with other options as well.

I understand that, just looking for options and want to make sure I'm not crossing some kind of legal line by having it partially exposed at times. BTW I have my chl.
