Do You Carry While Doing Yard Work?

[greezypete]

Don't know about bad guys, but I usually carry an old .22 with shot shells in case of bad snakes (this includes ALL snakes).

Same here. I bagged more than a few copperheads with mine.

 

[GlockedandLoaded]

where r u getting the shot shells at? and do they feed to automatics? or are you strictly running revolvers?

Amen.

If I'm not in a legally NPE, I'm carrying. G27 or G22, appendix at about 1:00. Even when mowing.

If I am awake I am carrying!!

 

[RaysZ71]

I carry while on the toilet too.

Assuming you are on your own property couldn't you carry concealed or open with or without a CCW?

I haven't taken the time to affirm the legality of this yet but I carry open-ish on my midtown home when outside. I am not old enough to be eligible for a CCW but with the drastic increase of crime in my area I made the choice to be armed when possible.

My house is one of the few homes on the block that hasn't been robbed yet and I intend to keep it that way if I can.

Even if this technically doesn't fit within our current gun laws I doubt I will change my method, there are times when when security and safety transcend any draconian law, and this is defiantly one of those times.

Pretty sure that's not legal. Stupid law, yes, but the law just the same (as I understand it).

I don't like using this word by definition, but the law MAY describe this as "brandishing" a weapon. Us CCWs cannot carry open, so I recommend for your best interest, don't carry openly outside. If you are not old enough to get your CCW, then I assume you are also not 21, old enough to buy a firearm. I think the cops could really make a big deal out of this if your neighbors were to call them on you. I don't think I would risk this, as it COULD effect your ability to get your CCW license in the future if caught. I'm not an expert, just my two cents. Protect yourself and your family at all costs, but do it wisely to keep yourself out of trouble

good luck
