This is what worries me. Any person that doesnt know what to look for and/or just wants to get a rise outta some people can say " dude its a gun, of course i feel threatened " or something to that extent and could possibly lead to an arrest. I mean I don't want to do it just because I can, but there is sometimes I wake up and just feel like getting dressed and putting the rifle on my back and going out side thinking " man its good to live in this country....state....city." Ive had this discussion many times with my Dad, he sad, You could be walking with 50 pounds of roses and a bunch of balloons that said, Happy Birthday Jesus, but as long as you had a rifle on your back....SOMEONE is going to get scared of it.

Even though the law says its Legal its almost like its Illegal. I even called the League City PD and talked to a lady there and asked her if I would get any hassle from the local PD if I was walking with my rifle to the gun shop/range(back when I didnt have a Car and a lot of free time), she basically laughed and said.."i dont know where you're from but thats not legal here" I tried to tell her that it was legal in Texas to carry a long arm openly but I wasnt reaching her through her flurry of laughing No's.

I don't know, maybe im just being dumb...but am I the only one that feels like that some times? I have my CHL now so i dont worry about it as much but.....still pings me in the back of my mind.

Nice bike!

I have a Speed Triple. One day when I have time to do some adventure-touring I’d like to get one of those.
