Open carry on your own property

[OGdoubleJ]

I open carry on my property, which isn’t really the biggest, but today I had an interesting situation arise. I had a couple appliances delivered and was wondering if anyone who does home delivery or installation have you ever run into a customer open carrying?
Does that come up in training ever?

I know I’m in my right since I’m licensed but I’m just wondering how it comes off being on the other end of the delivery.

It wouldn't bother me but I don't deliver.

Guess it depends on the individual. Most answers will probably mirror mine on this forum.

Ask on an anti gun forum and report back please.

Shouldn’t be any different than delivering to any business where the employees could be carrying like a gun store, police station, etc. I run into it a fair amount when making calls with the fire department.

My BIL and I were shooting clay pigeons once and Fedex stopped by. Driver shot a few with us.

BIL and I both noticed at one point the Fedex driver was the only one with a gun. That was a little odd.

Hahaha that’s funny! I guess it depends on the people who are delivering.

I've gotten a few deliveries when I was open carrying, it didn't seem to bother them, but then I didn't ask.

BTW, you don't need to be licensed to open carry on your own property.

I open carry at home all the time. Deep East Texas. Angelina County. FedEx, USPS, UPS, Water Co. ... no one has ever batted an eye.

I would guess it has a lot to do with the region in question. What's the likelihood that the employees doing the delivery have grown up in an anti-gun or gun friendly environment?

In SA, with their history of knife and weapons opinions, I'd guess they might tend to be a little more freaked out. Then again, I've got a cousin in SA that would probably tell you why you should be carrying something else instead of whatever you had strapped on your hip. (he's contrary like that)

I have no doubt whatsoever that most delivery folks have seen a LOT worse than a sidearm on somebodie's hip. And that was probably the least of their worries.

I have learned recently that open carrying in your driveway will deter the Jehovah's Witnesses from progressing any further towards your front door. They just looked at me, shook their heads, and moved on to my neighbor's house.

I open carry quite often on my property, especially when mowing or weed eating. No one around here cares one way or another as far as I can tell.

Jake the Wonder Dog knows his boundaries so he is allowed to run without a leash on our 1/2 acre yard. It's one of his greatest loves as he goes from tree to tree and checks the mail where all the neighborhood doggies stop to pee. I am always out there watching over him, armed and the neighbors are used to me sitting outside with an open carry shoulder holster. Heck, I even carry a 9mm when operating the big lawn mower!

My advice? Know the law, obey the law and don't worry about anything else.
