| Has anyone ever open carried a handgun on their property or yard in plain view of neighbors whether in a suburb, city or rural area? It would be interesting to hear what the outcome was if anyone has. You could be working in your yard or barbecuing or what ever. Attached Image (viewed 191 times):

I have. Many , many times in fact. Neighbor would go by and wave . Thats it. That was in the country though. Now live in town and still have a pistol on me at all times on the property. First time the neighbor saw me with my 1911 , he said " Hey !! Your pistol is cocked. "
I informed him that was the way it should be carried. Nothing else to report. I am on the South end of the state though .

Its legal. You might get some unwanted LE attention, especially in less rural areas.

I do carry all the time, but not really openly, although not completely concealed either. Not hiding it, but not putting it out there neither. I have been curious though to see the reaction, seeing I live in a rural town in cook county

Wow! Last week i went online to do a Google Images search on "open carry" so I could find a dozen or more open carry pictures to save on my computer, this was randomly one of them!

Let me just try to understand Mich. You need to ask to buy a gun? Or do you just need to ask to carry it? Or is it both?...
