I can promise you that if you look for the definition of a motorcycle, it's going to say "a two-wheeled motor vehicle", or something to that effect.
Really... look into the law, on your own terms, people. It's all there in black and white.
You are correct, and I was MISINFORMED by a person who was SUPPOSED to know the law........
SEC. 97-37-1. Deadly weapons; carrying while concealed; use or attempt to use; penalties.
(2) It shall not be a violation of this section for any person over the age of eighteen (18) years to carry a firearm or deadly weapon concealed in whole or in part within the confines of his own home or his place of business, or any real property associated with his home or business or within any
motor vehicle.
SEC. 63-3-103. Vehicles.
(a) "Vehicle" means every device in, upon or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, except devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.
(b)
"Motor vehicle" means every vehicle which is self-propelled and every vehicle which is propelled by electric power obtained from overhead trolley wires, but not operated upon rails. The term "motor vehicle" shall not include electric personal assistive mobility devices.
(c)
"Motorcycle" means every motor vehicle having a saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three (3) wheels in contact with the ground but excluding a tractor.
There is TWO separate "definitions" here.
But then under TITLES it is defined further.........
