Open carry on personal property?

[will381796]

Your own story demonstrates what I was trying to say at the beginning of this thread: If the cops think you are breaking the law, you are going to get busted. It's going to cost you a lot of time, money, and embarrassment. Even if the charges are dropped, you get no consolation.

Agreed.

I live in a rural area and OC on my own land all the time. I want people to see and question if it is legal. Otherwise, they will assume it is illegal or will never think of it. I also support unlicensed OC and carrying on our own property is a way to introduce the ignorant masses to the idea of good, free people exercising their Civil rights reflected in the Second Amendment. Freedom starts and ends in the hearts of men.

So, it used to be "Give me liberty or give me death." I guess it's now "Give me liberty as long as it's not gonna involve some flack or monetary cost or hassle in my personal life."

I suggest a new strategy, Artoo: let the Wookiee win.

I OC all the time in my yard. I do live in town (tho not the best part of town) in Ft Worth. I havnt had any problems yet and there is a lot of traffic on my road. There is a T intersection at my driveway so it is very possible for my weapon to be seen as I am digging in the rear of my SUV or taking out the trash (as the other road ends into my road directly across from my drive).

I was responding to this earlier from an arising world power in the East that is heavily represented in Wal-Mart goods. Being there will give one a new perspective on allowing the government to erode away our freedoms. If you're bored sometimes, look up their constitution and read up on all their "freedoms." They *have* the freedom of speech, of assembly, of all kinds of thing... in the constitution. But in real life, it's a different story.

Makes me not want to "let the Wookiee win".
