Guns On Bikes???
Why in the world would you need to carry a gun while riding a bike? If it is
truly that bad where you ride, I'd suggest another route. I live in Florida and also possess a CCW but would never consider carrying a gun on my bike. While the laws vary from state to state as to where a gun may be carried or how it may be transported, most agree on one thing. The use of "deadly force" MAY be allowed in a situation where there is absolutely no other option. This means if you are able to run away or otherwise avoid a conflict you ARE NOT justified to use deadly force. Depending upon the state you're in, these conditions may not apply if you are in your home. In Florida, for example, a law known as the Castle Doctrine says you MAY have the right to use deadly force, without withdrawling, within your home should you believe yourself or your family is in iminant danger. Notice that I capitolized the words MAY. This is because, should you shoot someone, whether or not you were justified to use deadly force will most likely be decided by a jury. Anytime you use a gun, even if you just point it at someone, it becomes a very serious situation and you will be held accountable for your actions. If you do have a CCW in the state you're in, you should know it is your responsibility, and no one elses, to know and understand all the laws governing it. So please, be a responsible gun owner, be wise, and leave the gun at home when you're out riding. Take care - BUBBA |
