Haha I've never seen one; I sorta made it up, but it sounds handy to me. Might have to make one. I found out that one of the trails goes behind a rifle range. Could make a wholesome whole-day family outing out of that.You know you're in Texas when the phrase "bicycle-mount gun rack" is part of normal conversation...
And here I was thinking "Leather Scabbord"
This is pretty awesome actually. I think I want one.
In most places if it doesn't come back as reported stolen it won't come back at all because only Hawaii and the District of Columbia require registration of firearms (four others require registration of "assault weapons"). At the federal level registration is prohibited by law and nine states prohibit it as the state level. Some cities and counties require it at their level.Probably nothing, but be advised that lots of cops (and some others) would run the SN through NCIC, just for grins. It will come back as registered to someone and/or stolen. If it's registered to someone other than you, no harm, no foul. If it's registered to you, and you don't care who knows, still no problem. If it happened to come back as stolen, that's a different story.
I'm glad for THAT!I wish I could get a better pic but my phone was zoomed in all the way already.
I'm the same way when I used to go out in the woods (and would be the same way today if I every go walking anywhere on the mountain). If I encounter a bear or mountain lion (which to date I have only done while in a vehicle), I plan to give it plenty of ground and all the time in the world to wander away (that's also my policy when I encounter them in a car). I do not want a confrontation and I'm not at all interested in doing anything to start one because (if for no other reason), gun or no gun, I'm far from certain of the outcome. I always keep in mind that wild animals have absolutely no sense of moderation and they don't fight fair -- they play to win and they play for keeps. So if it comes down to a confontation that can't be avoided, I want some kind of equalizer -- and I have no intention of fighting fair, either! That magazine's gonna get emptied!Before anybody says it, I realize that alligator attacks are not common and that "he probably has more to fear from me than I do from him" and all that crap. I don't care. Seeing an alligator of man-eating proportions is the only excuse I need to carry a gun on my bicycle.
In most situations in which I would find myself contemplating shooting at a gator, damaging the hide would be WAY down on the priority list. I would be much more along the mindset of "empty the damn magazine"!For gators you typically want a .22 or .17hrm to not damage the hide. If its for self preservation anything less then a 30-06 your gambling. Because a gators skull is so thick on the sides a .45 can bounce right off it. What ever you do you wanna shoot on the top of the head. 2-6 inches behind the eyes. "The soft spot"
Also be quick FFW is issuing gator permits right now for this season.
A gator coming my way and getting too close...I'm thinking something belt fed or crew served.Saw an ol' gater hunter on swamp people the other day pull what looked like a 9mm and shoot one in the head. I'm sure a .45 ACP would do some damage and is certainly larger than a .22 or .17
I don't think twin-50s on a bicycle would do well, it might in fact push you backwards. 5 in 38s or 16 in are certainly not transportable by bicycle.I'm thinking something belt fed or crew served.
Works for me!I don't think twin-50s on a bicycle would do well, it might in fact push you backwards.

From the Vietnam era ... a boston whaler
Probably your idea for those gators.
