[QUOTE="50Shooter, post: 1724812, member: 1026"] A motorcycle is a "motor vehicle". It has a liscense plate and you are required to carry insurance on it. The law says you can transport firearms in a motor vehicle that are unloaded and in plain sight. It would seem to me that slung across your back would constitute in plain sight. I think your primary concern is not engaging in any action that would spur LE who contact you into thinking you are a threat. You no doubt realize that in some urban areas of the state you will be stopped on sight. Slow hands, a smile, and friendly tones are going to be well advised. A bolt rifle where the bolt is zip tied in the full open position is pretty easy to see. While there is no legal difference between that and an AR with an empty mag in it, you should realize you will likely get a different response from responding officers. In urban areas it is likely that people will "blow up 911". Nothing gets a high profile response like having a dozen or two 911 calls on a "guy with a gun". If hundreds of law abiding citizens did it all summer long in about 3 months people would get used to it and stop calling in. I ride a motorcycle to work 6 months of the year. While I have done it before, I sure don't like doing it if I don't have to. 50shooter [/QUOTE]
