Riding motorcycle with visible long gun on board

This guy has some balls.

I bet no one gives him the finger as they pass him.

Last summer I was going to a friends house to do some shooting with my G-3 clone. I had my rifle in an old army weapons case under some ruck straps on my back, ride about 50 miles and with the exception of one or two folks driving by me giving me a honk because they knew what the case was everyone else was oblivious. In today's world its not worth the aggravation of some dip shit calling you in as a man with gun acting strange on a bike. I would carry in a case unloaded. Its not like you can take it out, load it and shoot while riding your bike at 65mph, but someone here will have done it or will do it to prove me wrong

Throw your rifle over your back, set your helmet on fire with a skull shell around it and just drive around. They do it in Hollywood!

From what I remember of a previous post on the matter. You can carry a firearm on a motorcycle only if you have a LTCF. IIRC the law uses the word vehicle. That means any truck, car, bike, or motorcycle. I forget if inline skates are included.

a. The LTCF requirement is for short-barrel rifles, short-barrel shotguns, and handguns. The term "firearm" in that particular section of the law only pertains to those specific instruments. Long-barrel rifles and long-barrel shotguns have no such requirement.

b. Push come to shove, inline skates could be viewed as a vehicle, the same with skateboards, hoverboards, and even shopping carts if you're riding and someone else is pushing.

You are correct. However, a long gun is not a "firearm" under that portion of PA law.

Really, it's no different than transporting a long gun in your car or truck. Keep it unloaded with the ammo separated, and you're following the law (assuming you ARE following all the normal PA regulations). Will you get strange looks? Probably. Will you get pulled over and harassed? Possibly. Are you legally allowed to transport an unloaded rifle strapped to your back on a bike? I don't see anything in the law prohibiting it. (IANAL)

I've done it on quite a few occasions. No reason to not enjoy a ride just because I'm going to the range. Now, I always keep it in a soft case of sone sort, but that's more to protect the rifle than appease the public.

Be nice I had 1000 rounds in an ammo can and the weapons case acted like a wing

Can't say I agree with that, looks quite dangerous. He needs more ankle protection.
