[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1688774, member: 1132"] Incorrect. If you expose it during a confrontation for the purpose of affecting the other person, you're brandishing. In the OP's case, it's unlawful carry though, not brandishing. Actually, it does somewhat. Inside a business or establishment is not considered "public". Think of Rodney Carrington's example As for the OP's scenario, any place where you can be seen from off your proprty is considered public. If a LEO sees you carrying a firearm openly (in a non-hunting or range setting), then he has probable cause to investigate. Absent a call for service or visible signs of a crime in public (or an invitation int a private area, such as a residence), a LEO can be asked to leave private property by an owner or operator. As an example, I used to mow my yard in Osage Co. with an openly holstered handgun. I frequently ran into critters down by the creek and ponds, so it was for use on them if necessary. Yet even if a deputy drove by on the county road, they could not see me openly carrying, hence it was legal. When I worked in a gun shop, I carried openly, but only inside the store. If I went outside, I threw on a jacket. That's also legal. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
