put it in a guitar case

 

Disassemble it with the two pins holding the lower and upper receivers; put it in a backpack or luggage rack pack. Ride on.

I think that would be the BEST choice.

 

Oh boy, get ready for all the anti-gun zealots that are going to pop in an say...

"What's with all you John Wayne, gun totin' types that feel the need to carry
while riding a motorcycle?"

Or "I don't see why you even need an assault rifle like that... it's designed for nothing but killing."



As for your question, well, the break-down and re-assemble onsite
is a good option.

I have a hard shell scabbard that I have attached to my off-road bike that
I carry mine hunting rifle in... when I'm hunting.
It works pretty good, but I don't know how it would be on a street bike.
It does make things kind of bulky.

If you don't want to take it down, then I'd consider using a soft sided
electric guitar case, as some suggested.
That way, you could still carry it across the back if you need.

 

I put another pin in the front pivot, so I can seperate the 2 halves, then found a tripod bag on sale. Goes in, zips up and looks boring.

 

Just mount it to the handlebars and scare the hell out of the citizens.

 

hahahaha. Oh, you remind me of me when I was young!

I took one of my old leather gun cases (simi-rigid leather with a steal zipper) and built a leather guide loop and carefully attached it to my front fork and the stock over my right handle bar. The loop was loose enough that the fork could do it's springy thing without tossing the case around too much, and it also didn't harm the metal as it rubbed against it. How ******* can a hippie get eh! I'd spend a whole day riding and shooting. I ran the bike a whole summer that way without too many issues. But just know that your gun will be a dust magnet. . . I'd have to clean my guns every night after I returned. Even my little scope got dust inside the glass somehow! Still, it was sure fun!

Oh heck, I also installed my huge Citizen Band radio over the fuel tank, just under the filler cap and use bailing wire to mount the antenna over the rear fender. YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA

I should post that picture on the photobucket site!

regards,

 

Here is the deal, I want to be able to ride the bike when I go shooting. I could throw the thing over my shoulder and ride with it on my back but I'd be looking for trouble (what is the law, armed to the terror of the public or something). Any ideas on how to attach a gun case on the bike for transport?

Thanks,

FMC

Strap it securely on your back and act normal......I carry a full size auto on my bike more often than not.
You mentioned "going armed to the terror of the public", although the law exists there are certain conditions which must be met for a reasonable officer to charge you with it. These conditions must also be met for it to stand in court. Any Attorney worth his salt could beat it, unless of course you were acting suspiciously or waving it around like a madman.
The conditions which must be met are as follows:

1. Must be armed with unusual and dangerous weapon. (Firearm)
2. With the intent to terrify others
3. Out on public highways
4. Acting in a manner to cause terror (whether anyone is terrified or not.)

Although I really do not see anything unusual about a firearm myself. The State views it differently:
Reference the document: http://www.jus.state.nc.us/ncja/ncfirearmslaws.pdf published by Roy Cooper, NC Attorney General, titled, "North Carolina Department of Justice Law Enforcement Liason Section", revised December 2007.

Page 23, Paragraph 6, Going Armed To The Terror Of The People
"By common law in North Carolina, it is unlawful for a person to arm himself/herself with any unusual and dangerous weapon, for the purpose of terrifying others, and go about on public highways in a manner to cause terror to others. The N.C. Supreme Court states that any gun is an unusual and dangerous weapon for purposes of this offense. Therefore, persons are cautioned as to the areas they frequent with firearms."

Even with the last statement an Attorney could beat it, after all NC is an open carry state.

I suggest that anyone with open carry questions check out opencarry dot org they have sections for every state, and some very gun law savvy members including Attorney's and Law Enforcement.

Put it on your back. At least it's not concealed.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Either break it down and carry it in a bag or get a scabbard and strap it to the bike like you would carry a long rifle on a horse. Lots of surplus dot mil scabbards around.

Easiest way to avoid law enforcement issues is to keep the mag apart from the rifle and ammo apart from the mag. Even an officer who doesn't believe in armed citizens would have a hard time making an issue.

 

I have carried a 90mm spotting scope, jacket, mat, ammo, 03A3 and cofffee with the rifle in a full sized hard case laid accross the pillon and bungeed on. Stuck out some but worked fine.

Those conditions must be met to be CONVICTED, not to be pulled over or
detained while an officer does an investigation.

And you don't have to have intent to terrify.
All the criteria that has to be met is "inciting panic".

If more than one person sees a firearm carried by a average citizen
gets spooked and the law enforcement agency gets multiple complaints,
whether or not you are doing anything specific, you can be arrested
for inciting panic.

You really have to know the area you are in, how the locals interact with
such a sight on a public street, and how your local law enforcement
reacts to such things.
If you live in a nice quiet, country neighborhood where everyone
has a gun and goes hunting, etc... probably nothing to worry about.
If you live in an apartment in the middle of a big city, it's probably not
a good idea.
A lot of how you transport your firearm is common sense and evaluating
your environments.

It may not hold up in court, but do you really want to be cited or jailed,
then have to waste time and money in court?

When carrying a firearm of any sorts, it's always best to be discreet.
The law may give you the right to open carry, but that doesn't mean
you won't be looked at and scrutenized by your peers or law enforcement.

 

If you happen to get stopped by an officer who does not like armed citizens and he hassles you...ask him to call his supervisor or the sheriff. They really cannot charge you with anything that will stick unless you are acting irresponsible, or are carrying concealed without a permit.
Local ordinances are the only thing you need to worry about. Call your sheriff and ask about any local restrictions...really shouldn't be any lawful ones as our right to open carry firearms[long guns included] is guaranteed by our state's constitution...with a few exceptions bars, government buildings, school grounds and functions, etc.

 

Oooh, oooh, put it in a "violin case" just the the Untouchables TV program. That would be soooooo cool !

LOL, just kidding...............right ? :roll:

 

What's with all you John Wayne, gun totin' types that feel the need to carry

I don't see why you even need an assault rifle like that... it's designed for nothing but killing.



Just joshin. To each their own. :lol:

 

I wonder if ram mounts makes a bar mount for it..... If you're going to carry it, it might as well be usable.

 

They really cannot charge you with anything that will stick unless you are acting irresponsible, or are carrying concealed without a permit.

Those are the key words... that will stick.
They can still charge you and they can still detain and or arrest you
and call it whatever they want to get the arrest or citation.
Making it stick in a court of law is one thing... having the hassle to
deal with it all is another.

Call your sheriff and ask about any local restrictions...

That's the best advice.

really shouldn't be any lawful ones as our right to open carry firearms[long guns included] is guaranteed by our state's constitution...with a few exceptions bars, government buildings, school grounds and functions, etc.

Exactly, it depends on your state.
We have a right to carry in Georgia. The state is a Shall issue state.
However, Georgia is not a non-permitted open carry state.
Many people in Georgia often misconstrue what our permit is...
Yes, we have to have a permit to carry concealed, but legally,
we also have to have one to carry openly.
Our permit is a "firearms permit," not a concealed weapons's permit.
One good thing about our legislature is that we are no longer restricted
from bars or places just because they serve alcohol.
We are still restricted from Govt bldgs and school functions though.

But, my philiosphy is and always will be... invisible is better.
What they can't see me carry isn't going to get me any trouble.
...and while it may not stick, what they can see might cause me some
time and grief.

 

Found these online awhile back. Looks kind of homemade but it's a good idea.

Perfect! Something simple to weld up, paint, and have perfect function.

There ya go...

 

In that image it even looks like he has a gun lock on the case to the Mount so it should be CA Legal for my state anyways. Lock on the action and lock on the case are required for travel with bullets in a different part of the vehicle. A.k.A. a saddle but that’s just a Technical matter. Yeah I know CA blows but it’s ok so do the girls here! Wait I’m married D’OH!

exactly. you do not want to attract the attention of a kook on the road or local law enforcement.
i just asked the local highway here. the same rules apply as transporting a weapon in a car. seperate from ammo and the ammo secured. but it's recommended to keep a low profile.
that is unless you feel like being pulled over alot.

 

What's with all you John Wayne, gun totin' types that feel the need to carry
while riding a motorcycle?

I don't see why you even need an assault rifle like that... it's designed for nothing but killing.



Just joshin. To each their own. :lol:

I shoot competition rifle and pistol. If i thought i was good enough to race motorcycles I'd do it.
when gas is five bucks a gallon it's economical to ride.
roll the rifle in with your gear and strap it down.
don't need a motorcycle, a boat, dive gear, a house, car, dog, garage,,, you get the idea. still fun to plink.

 

Did anybody really give much thought about this post? No offense the poster didn't. Remember this is a open forum.

 

I honestly do not know why everyone is so nervous about open carry. I have a concealed carry permit, but I open carry as often, it not more, as I do concealed. As I stated earlier I open carry a full size, double stack S&W semi-auto pistol while riding my bike quite often. On my right hip in a blackhawk holster, over a good portion of the state. I have never been hassled or pulled over by an officer while open carrying. I have been thru more than a few DUI checkpoints with it carried openly, never a problem.
You guys in the other states must have a few jerks in your police force, I have the utmost respect for police officers, and I am currently in college pursuing an Assc. Degree in Criminal Justice, but it only takes a few jerks to tarnish the rep of a dept.
To each his own I suppose, but the citizens of this country should never be afraid to exercise their rights.
" A right not exercised, is a right soon lost", I can't remember who said that but it seems logical especially these days.

I'm not nervous about open carry or concealed carry.
I just believe that a concealed or "out of sight out of mind" approach is
the best situation.
You carrying even the largest of semi-auto pistols is a LONG way from
carrying an AR-15 across your back, open.

I also have a lot of respect for law enforcement officials.
I do a good bit of work for the local sheriff's department and know about
98% of the deputies...
It's not about respecting law enforcement... it's about being
inconspicuous to the general public.

I have no problem with people who carry legally.
I carry all the time... not just here, not just there... ALL the time.
However, if some panic joe blow citizen sees you riding around
with a pistol on your side and doesn't like it and calls the cops,
he can likely describe to some minor degree the pistol or gun
you are carrying. If he can do that, in an officers eyes after having
a complaint about "some guy on a motorcycle carrying a gun...",
the officer is going to be extremely cautious and hold you up while
he conducts an investigation.
On the other hand, if you conceal what you have and don't let people
know you have it... no problems... they don't know you have it.
I'm all for my firearms rights, but I also know that the panic that open
carry can cause is what diminishes our rights and gives "ammo" for the
anti-gun crowd.

If you can carry and not get hassled... great! I'm glad you live in
an area that people don't panic.
But unfortunately, our society has been bred to be scared of guns
and fear anyone who has one.
There are more places that you will have problems with open carry
than there are that you won't.
