I can tell you that I've actually been stopped while riding my bike just because I looked suspicious because I was in a "predominantly African American community" (ya, that was actually the reason they stated for stopping me :barf
, and they just about lost it when I handed over my license and CHL. 4 squad cars and 6 ****** off cops spent about 45 minutes trying to figure out what I was REALLY up to and where I was hiding the brick of coke or whatever - I'm not really sure what they were thinking.
Needless to say, had I not had a CHL, I would have been up the creek w/o a paddle... Get a CHL. I also live in Texas, and they will think it's a big deal and you will go to jail.
Oh, and get rid of the 1911 for riding - [color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color][color=#FF0000]█[/color]? That's what pocket pistols are for...
