As I understand, once you step into a vehicle (motorcycle included) your open carry becomes concealed carry. Therefore, to carry while on a motorcycle a CPL is required.
My question is:
Does a police officer have reasonable suspicion to stop someone who OCs on a motorcycle?
OC is not a good enough reason for a "Terry stop," but I'm curious if having an exposed concealed firearm is a satisfactory reason for a "Terry stop." Since concealed carry is technically illegal (without gov permission), is it fair for an officer to stop someone under suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon?
I think these issues relate because if suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon is a justified reason to stop, then OCing on a motorcycle could be seen as a reasonable reason to stop someone.
P.S. I have seen the Youtube video of the guy doing this and being stopped.
