Jim,

No legal beagle here, but I would not recommend it. For example, in 
Missouri state law allows "open carry," but most cities and counties 
have ordinances against it. As a Kansan, or even a local, you would be 
hard pressed to know what is allowed.

There is a fine line between open carry and brandishing. I have a CCW 
and if I'm carrying and the gun should peek out from under my shirt, I 
can be charged with brandishing. A good source of what is and is not 
permitted can be found at http://handgunlaw.us.

A more important question would be why in the world would you want to 
carry a .45 on your hip while riding a bike? Are you trying to make a 
statement? If so, I guarantee it will be interpreted the opposite of 
your intent. You would look like a dick and appear to be compensating 
for lack of one of normal size.

Lee
