The easiest way to me seems like it would be small of the back, but then it seems it would be harder to conceal since you lean over the bike. Before I start any serious road riding, I'd definitely like to figure this out, since I'll be riding back roads in KY. |

Hopefully if the gun were actually used, it would be to shoot out the tires so the cyclist could get away safely without having to shoot the drunks. Tires are not terribly easy to hit. If a group of people are attacking you, it is considered a deadly attack and you have the right to respond in kind (according to KY law, anyway, it likely varies in other area). If you take a gun along, you can't afford to let a group of drunks take it from you, and might have to use it to stop them from doing that. The interesting thing about having a gun is that the barrel is usually aimed toward the people who would take it. If you aren't prepared to use it, don't carry it or draw it. Just because you have one with you doesn't mean you need to pull it out in every situation, either. You should carefully evaluate that possibility before deciding to bring one along - going through some contingency planning might very well convince you that carrying a weapon isn't worth it. I would say that me surviving is "worth it". Contingency planning should include training. No one should carry who isn't familiar with the use of a firearm and practiced with using it. |

If I'm going to assume that something bad might hppen, I'm also going to assume that something bad might happen and separate me from the bike. |
