Yesterday I was walking our two dogs on our rural land, and it took us alongside a fence going by a US highway, where my gun in an OWB was in plain view to anyone who was driving past. That got me to wondering, is there any restriction on open carry when its on your property, but clearly exposed to the general public, on nearby public property? I guess a more extreme example would be in an urban/suburban residential area; could you open carry as long as you were standing in your front yard, even though you were right next to the curb, by the street? Taking it even further, what about carrying it around in your hand? Not pointing it at anybody, of course.

It seems like it would be OK, but I'm just guessing. Now that I think about it, if you carry a weapon (without a CHL) in your car, that's your private property and space, yet you're required to have it concealed from casual passers-by. Would the same idea apply to your front yard?
