Would that be considered "federal property"? :lol:
I bought n paid for it at the hardware store, I even bought n paid for the post and concrete and shovel to plant it.

I'll consider it Federal Property when they put a check in the box reimbursing me. :smilelol5:

But you make a good point, I never looked up what it might be "legally" still, they'll need due process of law to take my property ... which some regulation may have done. :headscratch

Since I parked it in concrete, maybe it's a Federal park, which would generally be ok, except inside when a federal employee is working in it.
However, I don't have it in there when any Federal employees are working inside it "rlol"

The flag which flies over it resembles Flag of the Alabama Red Rovers.
Like their uniforms, this solid blood red flag was the banner of the Red Rovers, a company of volunteers from Alabama who came to Texas in fall 1835 to aid the Texan forces.

i think that is the most important one of all.

inviting them in for some beers and a group rub down will get them to go away.
"rlol"
I usually keep them on the porch an hour or so, till they get frustrated and go away (lots of pastors in my family :mrgreen: )
I usually tell them to come back any time ... they never do. :smilelol5:

Re: OC at home with visitors?

If I only carried one gun (no BUGs) I wouldn't open carry in the yard for everyone to know where on my body it's located.

I never show my hole card(s) though. And, my city is pretty conservative, lots of armed people, but oddly they dislike gun stores... unless they also sell mufflers, do taxidermy, sell ice cream or something else too.

Re: OC at home with visitors?

I open carry (Jeans or cargo shorts, no shirt when:
doing yardwork
answering the door
talking to Jehovah's Witnesses or similar who visit on my porch
entertaining male guests

I put on a shirt if a female non-relative is in my house

I put on a shirt to answer the door 2 nights ago when a patrol car stopped in front of my house and the officer started towards my door. (My phone isn't listed ... An officer in another city in Texas who is an ex-brother-in-law's brother got my local P.D. to come to my door to deliver a funeral notice to me to pass on to my relatives who are grandkids of the deceased)

I hadn't heard from that guy since 1973, I and he moved many times since then, Since I'm "unlisted" I assume I was found through one of the licenses DPS issues ... the officer did keep trying to not be obvious glancing at my shirt/ belt bulge at 3:00 ... friendly fellow who after chatting with me a minute figured I'm nice too and "looks aren't everything" (but I've known Narcotics officers who looked scarier than I do)

Now when the mail man sees me, he hurries up or if he already delivered mine, sometimes he makes a U-turn to come talk about guns and shooting ranges because he moved here from a city 30 miles away and they used to just go out in his back yard and shoot (He came from a rural acreage place near Lampasas).

The UPS and Fedex guys don't seem to mind either, and the neighbors laugh when I tell them I'm not allowed to cross the street unless I put a shirt on so they need to talk louder, come over here, or hold on while I either get a shirt or pitch my gun in the bushes/hide it in the mailbox so I can cross the street.... I'll never hide one in the garbage can again ...(no it didn't get picked up, I remembered where I put it the next morning) :headscratch

Well, I've always been a topless kinda guy, and my beard is grey, I'm balding and I am just trying to keep track of the brown fur I still have. I also wear flip-flops until it reaches 20 degrees, 30 if wet :mrgreen:

Last year there was one day I went concealed at home, it was the flannel pajamas day when I was waiting for the heater/air conditioner repair guy to replace a sensor he had to order.
