    The first 3 years of this law in Ohio were confusing. When I took my class the first year it was available the law said that if stopped while driving you had to have your gun on the seat or visible somewhere even if it's on your person. This meant that you could have it concelaled, but if you were stopped it had to be visible. God help you if you get pulled over and go to put it on the seat, or even move your shirt to make it visible, if you don't get shot it's a 4th degree felony, and they know you have a CCL before they get out of the sqad car anyway. The law was stupid.

    The laws for riding a MC and carrying were very unclear too we were told the only way you can carry on a MC without clearly breaking a law was to keep the gun visible, but in that case it was on your person AND you were drawing attention to it, thus you could freak somebody out and "cause panic" and that is against the law too, so I did not carry a-lot. If I knew I was going somewhere and felt I needed to carry I just hoped for the best.

    The recent change in the law say's to keep your gun on your person and you can keep it concealed. Keep your hands on the wheel and tell the cop you have a CCL and tell him you are carrying. He already assumes you are.

    Yes, that's I have a CCL officer, not to be confused with I have a gun officer! :)

    I understand what you mean about being on a bike. I have researched a little bit about the way the law used to be but wasn't carrying back then. I don't think they were as confusing as they were stupid. Anywho, I don't get too worried anymore if someone sees it. If they panic I have done nothing illegal so I'm not too worried.

    Chevy look up the origins of "the buckeye tuck"... you used to have to tuck your shirt in behind your gun when driving because of the "in plain sight" requirement.

    No I know what buckeye tuck is. I've done it a couple times when I just want to open carry with a IWB holster. again, that law was stupid as all get out. Just as stupid as Class D laws.

    I gotta admit, the biggest thing you can do is just stop worrying about it.

    I carried for about 10 hours today with Kholster. Bike, car, etc etc... once you stop worrying about it you'll forget your even wearing a holster.

    Normally I don't really notice wearing a holster. Just wanted to see if fellow CHL holders have come across anything I should be concerned about when carrying and riding.

    yeah if it has a latch, zipper, or any sort of closing device its legal to carry a loaded weapon off person in a vehicle with a CHL

    For clarification,

    ya thats what i try to do but then i feel like im acting like im not good enough to wave to them lol.

    If they have ridden a bike for more than say a month, they will understand. But don't think cuz you pass another bike you have to wave, the world won't end.

  17. need you advise, got in an accident.

    might just have them repack the driver side airbag. is it really hard to install an airbag yourself?

    Like Cheech said, you don't repack airbags. Once deployed they are done. You replace the whole assembly. The reason airbags are so much to replace is insurance wants BRAND NEW airbags installed for liability reasons. You can get ones from a salvage yard and install but be aware they may not deploy if needed and if you sell the car, be sure you tell the new owners.

    no idea, never tried. JPorter on here should know. I know you need to pack an explosive charge/device, and I suppose that's where the $1,000/bag to reinstall cost comes.

    Seems to me like something best left to a professional.

    See above^^

    Not hard to install at all, the trick is not blowing it off in your face and forceing the ratchet thru your chest.

    They usually aren't difficult. Just have to disconnect the battery and let it sit for 10 minutes. That way the airbag "battery" will be discharged.The connectors for airbags are always yellow. Usually just some bolts/nuts to install them. Where it gets more difficult are side curtain airbags, those are fun.

    I can see the headlines now...MAN INVOLVED IN FREAK MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT, BIKE FLIPS 100 TIMES AND BURST INTO FLAMES, MAN ROLLS, FLIPS, SLIDES, HUNDREDS OF YARDS, SURVIVES WRECK BUT DIES FROM GUNSHOT WOUND BY OWN GUN...news at 11, lol..maybe not funny but it was in my head...

    :lol: Nice

    I OC while riding using a OWB holster, i just use the cheap one that came with my XD, never had a problem with it falling out or anything like that. I do plan on using a drop down leg holster once it arrives.

    I hadn't even thought about it vibrating out of the holster. Thanks guys, now I'm worried about that too. I do have a Fobus OWB, it's a pretty snug fit.

    You havent used a good one yet then. There are several made for riding they use a chest strap in addition to the regular straps and are padded. No jerking around in the wind and such. I've got one and love it.

    I have one with the chest strap and good padding but with my riding position the extra weight wears on my back. If I rode upright like on a cuiser I'd be fine, I used to backpack on multi day hikes and of course military road marches. :D

    I ccw'd on my jet ski today.

    Of course you did Gump.
