    Are shortages real? (I hope this is not considered off-topic.)

    Handling a firearm on a motorcycle....HOW???

    Ok..I like to ride, and I am starting to open carry...but here's the thing: if you have to 'unload' you can drop a magazine and cycle the slide in the privacy of your car. the most it will look like is you're adjusting your shorts. On a motorcycle i don't HAVE that luxury. In fact, to remove...
