Carry while mowing?

Jody, what kind of pocket holster do you use?

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.

Well,there you go.Can`t argue with those facts or your logic.

I have carried mowing the lawn on the Tractor but don't make a habbit of it. Live in a pretty quiet area where you can almost hear the grass grow, and I've only had to threaten the tractor once with violence. Since then it's been well behaved.

yep. If I'm awake and not at work, I'm carrying. When working in the yard it's the XDm 9 Compact 3.8 on the hip. It resists sweat better than the Kimber.

Meco pocket holster.

I cant believe how long a thread on what do you carry when you cut the grass could run so long. Man I love this forum.

I think we're easily entertained. I installed a truck air horn on my riding lawn mower that will wake the dead also. Probably don't need a gun anymore, hit the button on that thing and the whole world wakes up.

I toot at the neighbors when they drive my and wife and kids will run out of the house to see whats wrong. Still a kid inside I always give trucker the toot your horn signal, my neighbor drives a dump truck, so now I can toot right back. I usually carry my phone and gun in case I get stuck, or in a jam, out of gas whatever since walking over to get more isn't an option. I fired a shot one time to get their attention, now I got the horn.

No lawn, but if I'm dressed, I have my PM9 on. I live out in the country, read desert, & the law is a long way away. Someone left a nice car on my place, which I thought was probably stolen. I called the sheriff about it. Two days later they showed up. Probably not on the high priority list for them. As it turned out, the owners had lost their keys some how.

As for pets dumped off here, the coyotes handle that.

I carry when I get the mail, becuse you never know when one of the mailmen might go postal and start shootin up the neighborhood.

Thats a viable concern. I can't wait to tell my mom this one, she was a mailman (didn't have an operation or anything) for 30 years. She'll get a kick out of this.

I carry when I mow the lawn because I carry from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. It's just part of getting fully dressed for me. I have either a 1911 or a Kahr CW9 at my side every day.

I've got the same mentality regarding carrying. If I'm not carrying I feel sort of naked. Same as if I'm not wearing a seat belt.

Well "this" might be for those that live in a tuff neighborhood....it'll make them think twice before screwing with you, just make a couple of passes around the homestead to get their attention: NOTHING LIKE A GOOD OL 50 CAL mounted in your vehicle :=]:53:

[wyntrout]

That sure limits the field of fire... more like for drive-bys!

I'd like one pointed forward for the left-lane bandits not passing anyone or yakking on their *********... or generally just driving with their heads up where the sun doesn't shine.
