I used to ride to Tai Chi practice with a sword strapped to my handlebars. Does that count?

I put it in soft case/bag case then put it in a folding lawn chair stuff sack. I lay it across the back seat and saddle bags and bungee it down, it is short being a carbine. No one ever bats an eye or looks twice, I am just a fool on a bike with a folding lawn chair across the pillion seat.

Every "Bubba" here in the South worth his weight in boiled peanuts has a gun(s) in the back window of his UBIQUITOUS PICKUP TRUCK . I don't see what the difference would be to hang guns all over the scooter. Folks would give you plenty of right of way , it would also help trip those traffic lights we was talkin' bout in tha other thread .

In the 'States, you have the right to bear arms. That is a literal statement. You have the right to walk down the street with a firearm in plain view. You get into trouble when you conceal it (unless licensed in a state that does such shenanigans).
Mount that smoke-wagon longways across the bars and ride on, bother... ride on (at least until you get pulled over and cavity searched).
I love the bill of rights!

It's a good thing that the architects of those rights were of sober mind . What would life be like if there was a right to ARM BEARS ?

Smoke-wagon?? Somebody been watching some Tombstone lately? :P
But I'm with you though...I'd like to mount something like this on my bike...
...and one of these...
...since I do have permits for three of those "shenanigans" states - WA, OR, and VA.

A friend of mine traps shoots competitively. She just zip ties her soft case to a fork leg.

Here is an interesting way of carrying a rifle.
