I sold my 32 snub nosed pocket revolver years ago, I carried everywhere without incident and declared to have it on occasion but, never had to pull it. I was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint once( I was sober) and told the officer I had it tucked under my shirt. He told me to keep it in front were it was visible and then waved me on through. After around 4 or 5 years of not partying, I realized the reason I carried it in the first place no longer applied so, I sold it for $50. My son has his Papa's Glock 9mm Service Pistol which for obvious reasons I ain't taking. I grew up in a rough neighborhood, hung around them a lot and know what they're like. I haven't been in one since 92 when I was selling Kirby and had many a good humored banter with gang bangers. "Crazy white man" act always worked. I've used humor to defuse many a tense situation in the past. I guess I kinda forgot about all that. I haven't been on this long a round trip yet. It will be interesting. Mapquest has it as 176 miles. I don't think I'll have major issues with the bike when I've finished my maintenance and mods. I certainly wouldn't relish being broke down in brown town. However, it is not a concern because I'm not in charge, Jesus is.
