I am seriously thinking of this option while riding. Am I just asking for trouble?

Tried it - A bit hard to remain Concealed.....I have vests that work...just don't like the way the reach is {but best of the bunch} I have a shoulder holster....Might be able to make that work better. These leg bags strap around the waist and leg. My problem is will the cops feel this is not really concealed? No problem in TN....but not every state we travel is so forward thinking.......lol

Every state is different so need to brush up before port of entry.I think that pouch-in LEO view would be no different than a womens CCW purse.Of course the problem with that sort of pouch is that it screams "it's simply the perfect style accessory love".But who am I to judge.

It can scream I love unicorns and Rainbows for all I care - I just don't want it to scream at the Highway Patrol "This is not considered Conceal." I just like where the weight would be carried - and access.....
Conceal seems to mean..prevent from being noticed etc. Looks like that set up covers that definition. Did you look at "Sneaky Pete Holsters"? What size firearm are you concealing? Small-Medium?

Yes I would agree that pouch fits the definition of concealed.Thats unless one has X-Ray vision it can't be determined what is in that pouch.But cops don't need xray.They have probable cause.If you really want that pouch go ahead and get it.Its nobodies flippen business what ya got in there. At least here in N.C. we are required to notify law enforcement that we are carrying concealed when interacting with them.Nosy people-just tellem to screw off.Ive been a 1911 guy since a little kid.Love em.But when it's hot and I'm riding I carry one of those "micro pistols".Lifes full of choices.

Thanks again for the input - Just since the move to trike - haven't been able to find that "almost forget it's there" comfort. Inside has never felt good to me - and other than the heavy leathers, my jacket/vest etc. will sometimes ride up - and just don't need that to happen out of state. Again - Thank you for the suggestions

Not sure what model you're trying to carry concealed, but an ankle holster might be suitable...?:Shrug:
Whatever you carry, you must be able to get to the weapon with ease. I have different carry holsters, depends on what I am doing as to which holster I use. I carry a sig p238 when concealing.
Pocket conceal is good, but not for riding. IWB is not good when riding. I do have a small high forward position belt holster, second choice when riding. My best choice is the pocket holster in the cc vest. If I am not using the vest, my riding jackets have cc pockets that the pocket holster keeps from printing. Jim

+1 on that!
You just know if they accept this...
someone will split hairs and try to say this is concealed as well.
And the cops will nail the poor guy. Not a problem in Texas,
at least I don't think it is, but it would certainly not fly in
California, for example.:Shrug::Shrug::Shrug:

That is more to the point of my question. As in Texas, here in TN it would be fine as my permit is carry and not conceal. Thanks

I use a Sneaky Pete custom fit for the firearm I'm carrying. When on the bike, it's a Ruger LC9 with a Crimson Trace Laser. Looks like a carry case for one of these gargantuan cellphones people carry now-a-days. No hint its for CCW.

I just went to a trike a month ago and I use the same ccw method as I used with my two wheeler. The gun pocket in my vest or in my jacket. However, I’ve always liked shoulder holsters so I’ve been carrying my gun, a S&W Governor, in a vertical Triple K shoulder holster and I have DeSantis horizontal holster coming. To me this is the most comfortable carry method for me. Adjusted properly the gun lies flat against my side and even just a long sleeve shirt conceals it. However a horizontal holster works good for me also. I prefer the shoulder holster because it’s comfortable and I can draw it easily sitting down or standing. My opinion only.
My old department allows me to qualify yearly with either pistol, revolver, or both ... and if I do qualify, they add a sticker to my permit granted upon retirement, good then in all 50 under LEOSA 2004. I usually carry a P226 or 229 in a OWB holster under my forever untucked shirt ... and if on the trike or bike, under my jacket as well. In more recent years, I found a need to carry concealed with shirt tucked, so I use a frt pocket holster with a Ruger LC9 , a smallish 9mm pistol with single stack mag.
I have a cross the chest holster to fit my S&W M-27 8-3/8 .357 mag but while it is comfortable, it's a tad big. I used to wear it hunting. I have tried it on a trike ride and found that it is comfortable and presents the weapon for easy use... but when the group stops for vittles, it's "in the way", it becomes rather awkward then.
Occasionally, I have resorted to a boot top ankle holster for either the LC9 or my SP-101 2.25 compact revolver (5 shot)
I prefer either the P226 (9mm) or P229 (.357 sig) but they are full sixe weapons, one must wear a longish shirt untucked to conceal.

I find a shoulder holster very comfortable covering it with a vest as I almost always wear a vest. That is until summer with temps in the triple digits the whole setup just adds even more heat. But then hardly anything is comfortable here in summer. So I generally stick with my OWB setup with a T-shirt cover which is now okay in Texas. I only use extra long T's as well.
Just get some 1/4 inch clear plastic tubing, fill it with some red or yellow fluid. Hang it out of the pouch, going into your shirt. Beleave me, no one will bother to ask.

I carry OWB most of the time.
My son and I rode our Sportsters to the range two weeks ago...he had a rifle on his back.
