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
