It also depends on where and what happens..
When I had a flat in Utah corner of I15 and I 70, I had my little .38 in my tank bag.
However, I must've looked rather upset,a Utah Hiway Patrolman stopped to help and told the insurance peeps on the phone exactaly where I was... ( he knew where I was, I couldn't see any mile markers...dang things are a mile apart!!)...he never even asked for driver's lisc, anything....Course I did have my id in my back pocket...
Funny thing, I was so upset about the flat, I forgot a had anything in the tank bag! Remembered it when I got to the hotel in Vegas!
And yes, I've riden thru Illinois with a loaded revolver in my tank or saddle bag.....just kept to the speed limit...<G>
