The instructor said:
Unfortunately, I don't think that image will ever leave my head!You can strip down to your boxer shorts, strap on a set of spurs and a pair of 6-shooters, and ride around your property on a broomstick horse, if you want to.
Anyone know if there is any validity to this?I think you are talking about creating a public nuisance...or something like that.
Some LEO said that carrying on ones own property could still be violation if it frightened the public, and could still get you on public display of firearm...that if it is visible from street, it is still public. I have even been told by LEO's (multiple) that if your drunk in your yard you can be arrested for public drunkenness. I hate it when the difference between jail or not is how the wording of a law is parsed.
