But they're only useful (for hip pocket carry, anyway) in states where open carry is legal, right? I can only imagine the hue and cry if some semi-scruffy-looking banker/weekend Harly rider was flying down the interstate with his pistol hanging off his hip:
Soccermom: <dials 911> "OMG, officers, there's a bad man on a motorcycle with a GUN!!! Come quik!"
Ending in a confrontation with the law, dude on motorcycle (or in the quick stop, in the movie theater line, getting some tacos, etc.) getting hassled by the man and/or having to go through a felony vehicle stop or other police stop, search, etc. beacuse he's carrying openly instead of inside the waistband, under the arm, etc.
Edit: Even where open carry's legal, most regular non-CCWsavvy citizenry isn't going to be too keen on it, so I could imagine that sort of thing going on just about anywhere.
