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.

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 . :lol:

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:shock:

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?...

Who is a free man?
