Carry while mowing?

[hdsteve69]

I carry while doin anything around the house wether that be mowing or layin on the couch watching tv. I also carry out of the house . The only time I dont carry is at work (not allowed to) but I do cary to and from work ,my weapon just gets locked in a lock box hidden inside my locked truck. I figure if I have the permit to do so than why not do it whenever you can cause you will never know when you will need to use it .

itxi, you may have missed it, but I said something similiar as you just stated in my first post that you found offensive, I had said something to the effect that I'd shoot the dog, then the owner. The older I got out there on the farm, the less I shot to kill, mostly a warning shot into the ground. One of the biggest heartbreakers, was someone dumped off a big ole black lab. You know labs are among the friendliest dogs around, and yet here was one just skin as bones snarling at me. It knew what guns were, cause as soon as I pulled my pistol he was off and running, thank god, I did not want to put that old feller down. But I wouldn't have taken it in, not knowing if it was rabid or what was wrong with it. Now that was one I wish I could have found the dog dumper and beat him till he was about half dead. Dumping an old hunting buddy like that just cause he got old.
I've had old dogs get sick and gonna die that I had to put down myself, that takes a lot of getting over. I started doing it when I was 12 or 13, so Dad didn't have to do it. It broke his heart worse than mine. Only time I ever saw him cry was when he had to put old Bosco down, and I swore I wouldn't see that again. He was getting old and soft like I am now. We were dirt poor farmers and didn't have money to take a dog to the vet to be put down. I think I saw a vet come around once, when all the cattle were sick and Dad didn't know what to give them, the vet told him what to do and Dad went and bought the meds and gave em shots. We still lost one maybe two head. Dad grew up on a dairy farm so he knew most the cattle diseases and doctored them himself but this one he hadn't encountered before. We were dirt farmers, but dad bought a dozen head of calves each spring and fed them out and the sold beef to our family and friends. You city folks might think we are cruel and inhumane, but we did as we had to do to get by. Nowadays are different, we do have money for vets, and spay and nueter, get the shots, and all the responsible things a pet owner does. Back then there wasn't money for such luxuries.

I ain't looking at this thread no more. Anyone got a beef with me can PM me.

Personally, I prefer to mow in my Abrams M-3c Tank Mower. Switches between modest 15mm cannon to sprinkler with a flip of a switch.

Gotta get me one of those Abrams mowers....

Carry ALWAYS.

Then only time I don't is in the sheriffs office when I need to go there.

I stay out of trouble so I don't go to the court houses.

Unless there's a metal detector I don't say a word.

Otherwise I'm never without it.

I wouldn't recommend power washing for that reason either...

that's the DUKAKIS PRESIDENTIAL MODEL. Since his run at the presidency ended up in abject failure, you just don't see that mower out and about much.

I usually throw on my tinfoil cap, armor vest and strap my AK to my back....never can be to safe...

A guy was volunteering at a bicycle race this past weekend, Saturday 10:00am
He was parked on the side of the road with an ice chest of water for the riders.
Nice neighborhood on the edge of town, groups of cyclist riding by regularly.
Police officers directing traffic 1/2 mile north and south of him at intersections.
He was robbed at gunpoint by two guys driving a stolen car.

A friend of mine was mowing his yard a few years ago. He's an engineer with a major oil company and lives in a very nice neighborhood. He carried the clippings around to the alley and when he came back to the front of his house there were two guys in his garage stealing his weedeater and some of his tools. They took off when he yelled at them, but the situation could have just as easily turned into a robbery/home invasion.

There are no safe time or places.

If I have pants on I have a gun on, even if it's only a PM9 in my pocket.
Since I mow the yard while wearing pants, yes I'll be armed.
