First off, I see this is your first post. Welcome to the forum.

In Texas, you can legally open carry a rifle or shotgun. If you are meaning carry it in a case, then you should be able to, but it needs to be unloaded then (I believe.) Now, legal or not, you might raise someones concern and get called on, depending on your area you ride through. I would not think having a rifle cased would raise as much alarm as maybe you riding through town with a AR-15 strapped to your back.

One caveat, I am not a lawyer. Just my view of the statutes.

Again, welcome to the forum and enjoy!

It doesn't even have to be unloaded. Carry away!

I have Carried in a hard case, Looked like a giant sissy-bar and grab the wind!!! Got a few looks on the road. I wanted to use a saddle holster on my forks a lot less wind.

Thanks for the welcome

I would love to see a picture of someone with an AR strapped to their back running down the road on their bike... In fact, maybe I'll have the better half take a picture of me with mine strapped to me!

Love it. Do you know the backstory?

Could the woman in Picture 2 be in Israel?

I'm guessing Switzerland.

I carried a Mosin Nagant from a Fun Show to home (around 20 miles and thru many cities) and I've carried rifles over the shoulder to the range many times, never been stopped, but I think that's more luck than anything, sooner or later I'll probably get stopped, but I'm within the law.

Yeah, it was just a joke.

Per Texas Penal Code you can carry a loaded long gun as long as you don't do so in a manner calculated to cause alarm (plus case law).

One thing to watch is city ordinances, which vary greatly across the state.
