CCW while riding

I think VS a bear I would need something with a LOT of ammo because I'm going to be shaking so much I'd be lucky to hit the broad side of a barn. A saiga 12 guage with a drum magazine of buck shot would be best me thinks.

Just two legged jackals down here. One shot they would likely run so I doubt caliber matters.

What you need to stop a bear is a BIG gun. One of the best is the Pfeifer Zeliska 28mm Revolver. I think Givi makes a topcase that fits it...

I always carry on body at 3:00. In town I carry a 1911. In the mountains a Ruger .44 4". Big enough to fire with gloves on. I acknowledge the extra risk a chunk of steel can be on my hip in a crash, and I accept it. I explore- I don't ride motocross style.
