One of our members was good enough to look this up, and posted the cite in another thread. (Thank you)
I started this thread to see if there were opposing/supporting viewpoints on the subject of possibly being charged with a CCW for riding a bycicle or similar device without a CPL.
Personaly I had stopped riding this year until I find out specifically if I can or cannot ride a bike without a CPL. Not carrying is not an option. This is something that irritates me highly as I want to ride a bike now that there is warm weather. And I thought itworthy its own discussion as it has shown up in many places on this site this spring.
