I remember a time when I was growing up in Wisconsin that the state highway patrol was required to wear helmets in their patrol cars. I think it lasted about a year.

I also participated in a helmetless ride in protest of the Wisconsin helmet law for motorcycles. We met thousands of motorcyclists and in mass we took off our helmets for a ride into the state capitol building area. I think it was 1975 or 76.

I still ride at times without a helmet. Yeah I am grey haired and bearded but you will be to.

In Missouri you are required to wear a helmet but you can choose to carry a loaded gun in your pocket. I work in Illinois and there you don't have to wear a motorcycle helmet but you can not ever carry a gun loaded or not. I much prefer Missouri.

I saw this on you tube and thought it might tie a few ends up.
