First of all, it is not the act of OC during driving that was at the core of my argument. It is the stated reason for doing so. I tlhink if you are going to OC on your bike or anywhere for that matter because it's your right to do so, for self defense or to comply with state law in the exercise of your 2nd amendment rights as a US Citizen,that is fine. But I believe that stating your reason for opencarrying as being a deterrent for traffic collisions is being somewhat boisterous in this state. Maybe anywhere. I further think it may place you at a disadvantage in defending yourself should you be charged with any crime related to your open carrying while driving your bike, mainly because your posts may be dredged up as evidence of your intent. There's a perception out there already when it comes to open carrying. I don't believe it will serve any good purpose to play into the hands of detractors, especially those who may be prosecutors. After all, it is not me that is going to accuse you of being a wacko motorist who shoots because they got cut off. I'm an open carry proponent and won't be on your jury.
