The yard wouldn't be real property that is being used as living quarters. I'm no lawyer but I think I won't be carrying open in the yard...

the law does not require you to be using the REAL property as living quarters any where in there. Real Property is your yard, your pasture your condo, REAL estate nothing more nothing less, as long as you are carrying your weapon in a manner consistent with simple possession and carry you should be good to go. I do it all the time, been seen by plenty of Deputy Sheriffs and never got a ration of crap over it. it is of course your choice to carry in what ever manner you choose, but don't presume to give incorrect information and advice based on that incorrect information
I'm also a real estate agent so I'm familiar with the definition of "real property". My point was that the sentence can be interpreted two ways:
Real property as one thing, recreational vehicle being used as living quarters as a second thing...or "living quarters" applying to both real property and to a recreational vehicle.

I'm not sure what incorrect information I gave, and I wasn't offering advice, simply stated that I choose not to open carry in the yard...my apologies if my point was poorly made - it's what I get for posting when I should be sleeping.
