I carry a relatively small Ruger .357. Now, if I lay that smaller frame piece on my footboard, it becomes immediately apparent that to store it IN any kind of footboard, said board would have to be way larger than the stocker on my RK, and at least 2 inches thick if I wanted to use foam in there. So in addition to being a dumb idea, it's really not possible. Obviously, the original shot was photoshopped, and the ones that are for sale wouldn't hold a handgun of any size.

I've been riding 35 years and have toured the US, Canada and Mexico extensively. I've never needed a gun. I understand if someone lives or commutes in a questionable area, but for others, I don't get the obsession with carrying. Unless I'm going hunting or to a range, my guns stay at home.

God bless America and the freedom to choose. Keep yours at home. If you ever do need help maybe one of the gun toters here will be there to help out:-) Ya never know when you will need one. Year 36 could be the one. Just saying. Stay safe.

There are something like eighty million guns in the U.S. What percentage of those would you say are "needed" each day for self defense? I have never "needed" my life insurance, my fire insurance, my flood insurance, etc. Here's an idea. From now on, try to have a point.

That is one of the dumbest things I've read in a while. Because you have never needed any type of insurance, that makes them pointless. Kelley Bundy school of logic. I have needed fire insurance. Car insurance. Homeowners. Stupid. Stupid statement.

Since my original reply, I have actually seen a set of these live & in person...and they won't carry a larger frame auto, but the guy had a .380 auto in there...I doubt that you could carry a revolver, that's true enough! He said that he hadn't noticed any particularly high rate of finish wear, like I was concerned about. But getting it out IS a major production...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus[/QUOTthat Is the point. Not needing something does not mean you will never need it. I was being ironic. Just because you have never had to shoot someone does not mean you will never have to. I carry. Always.

My wife carries too. And I sent her to FrontSite for a week of professional training.
