It's not an issue for me in my current situation anyway since no one could really determine what my front yard is. I live on 16 acres out in the country with pro gun neighbors, and I could walk right along the entire perimeter of my property with 50 guns hanging all over me and no one would ever raise a fuss.

However, EVEN if I lived right smack in the middle of town, where my front yard met up with the public street or sidewalk, and I had neighbors on either side of me, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever, that I should not be able to carry a gun on my person right up to the edge of my property all the way around, whether there is a fence or not. My property, legal to have guns on MY property, therefore as long as I remain on MY property, legal to have guns on my person. What the hell has this country come to? They control everywhere else we have guns, and now we are letting them control where on our own property we can carry guns too? Are we looking to have it defined that within your home, and within your fenced back yard it is okay, but NOT in your front yard because even though that is private property, it is accessible to the public, therefore it is also public property. We can not allow this crap to happen! That is exactly how we lose every one of our rights over time. By being tolerant of BS like that.

It is perfectly legal for me to carry a gun in my temporary residence or campsite even. A campsite is just about as accessible to the public as anything. How many times have you been camping, and someone just walks right through your campsite? It happens all the time! But because of that, are you going to allow case law to tell you that you can no longer carry in your campsite because it has now been determined to be public property? Ridiculous!
