Depends on where you live I would think..different states have different laws...in FL we must have the weapon "concealed from view" some states have open carry laws..(I like that...tends to calm A** holes down when they see Mr Glock on your hip)...my advice is check your local laws CLOSELY!! part of getting a CWP is knowing what you can and cannot do in your jurisdiction...and yes I pack most of the time..lot's of crazys running around here in So. Fla.
If im not mistaken, youre from texas... if you have a concealed weapons permit, you can carry a weapon on the bike... if you have saddlebags, check out the "traveling" laws... you dont have to have a permit if you are traveling.... though it might save headaches from stupid cops that dont know the law...
Just an FYI. If you are ever pulled over, If your plates were ran through the system, the cop will already know you have a CCW and will more than likely approach you in a different manner. It is also wise to let them know right off the bat when you hand them your drivers liscense that you have CCW and are carrying the gun. It is a lot easier for them to know you are honest up front and not to find out on their own. Lot of cop buddies and they all agree that they like to know this stuff up front.
Also if travelling out of state, your permit may not allow you to Carry the gun, only transport it according to their rules. Plan ahead, better safe than sorry!
In NC you're required to advise the police officer that stops or questions you that you have a ccp and if you are armed, before he asks you. They're quite clear about it too.
