Poked around a little and didn't see anything but I was wondering about oc w/o cpl on bike rides (pedal bike, not motorized)? Is this legal or would you still have to have a cpl?
-
Grey area... Some think OK some not. I personally recons against.
-
Safest thing in all cases is getting a CPL. Is there a reason that you can't?
-
Only reason I havent gotten it yet is money, times are a little tight.
-
The way I read it is that the law says you cannot carry in a vehicle without CPL, and since they go by definition of vehicle "A vehicle (from Latin: vehiculum [1] ) is a mobile machine that is designed or used to transport people or cargo. Most often vehicles are manufactured, such as bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats, and aircraft. "
BUT
There are definitions that say a vehicle is a self propelled object used for transporting people and objects. So by that definition a bike is not a vehicle since you are propelling it. But I feel the law is going to go with the first haha.

But I go by the definition of the word "in"... How can you or your gun be in a bike? :-\ ;D

It's a gray area. If somebody would like to be a test case and doesn't mind risking their freedom and several thousand dollars to fight a case, by all means they should go ahead without a CPL.

Just because YOU go by the definition of the word "in" does not mean the prosecutor will go by that definition.
It's a slippery slope.. Just be carefull is all im sayin.
