My prefered method of travel during the majority of the year in Ga is my motorcycle. Is there any legal reason I can't ride my bike to the range with my rifle on a sling? or strapped to the seat? I know silly question but I figured I'd ask. James. |

I'd at least put it in a soft case and sling that over your back. You could always be charged with something like (help me out here, LEOs) disturbing the peace or something similar if freaked out soccer moms start calling 911 to report you. I open carry a pistol in the local grocery store every so often just to see how people react. So far nothing more than one kid who asked me if I shot bad guys.  But I bet if I walked into Publix with an AR slung over my shoulder things would be different.

Georgia is an open carry state. go to www.packing.org and it it explained there. Book is right - If a store or business has a "no firearms" sign - it does not mean you can't carry. If you are asked to leave and don't - trespass is the only thing you can get hit with. I open carry frequently and most people don't even notice. |

When I open carry I make sure I am very clean cut looking (i.e. clean shaven, clean clothes, nothing sloppy looking, etc.). Most of the time I carry a full-sized Kimber in a Talon Tactical (made by Mike Benedict) OWB kydex holster with a matching mag pouch or two. About 20% of the time I'll be carrying a G19 in a Talon Tactical holster with a couple mag pouches. I also always wear a Wilderness Instructors belt and have a SureFire flashlight in my front pocket. Throw in the Danner boots I always wear when not wearing shorts and it is no wonder I've had more than one person suggest that people probably think I am an LEO. |

The guys at work were talking about a guy who went to the range with his AK slung across his back, I think they said he was pulled over by the law 3 times there and back. They had gotten a ton of concerned phone calls about the nut on a motorcycle with an ak. LOL, this story came up as a result of telling stories about this particular individual who rarely used his brain. could you wrap it in a blanket and tie it to the side of the bike? |
