This reminds me of a funny story with a bit of a bearing on the discussion here.

When I first moved into my house, the neighbors kid was drawing chalk drawings in front of my house. Some of these drawings were somewhat objectionable (bad words, nakedness, etc) and I asked the kid to wipe it off and keep it on his own property.

The kid replied, "The sidewalk is government property! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!"

Being the argumentative person I am, I replied, "Son, it really is my property. The sidewalk is what's called an easement, meaning that even though it's my property, others are allowed to access it."

"...."

I unrolled my hose and the kid and I cleaned up his mess, then his dad came home, and I had afew words with him about it.

The point is, being technically right doesn't mean you won't have an argument, as the gentleman pointed out, in regards to boundaries, etc. Those arguments might end up being with a police officer. As is often said, "you might beat the rap, but not the ride." So be careful when you do this.

Having said that, I tend to open carry on my property mostly because I'm working in the yard, and sweat a lot, and staying concealed is annoying while sweating so much. I've yet to have a problem.
