If I'm understanding this correctly, one couldn't be trespassing on their own front yard, but it could be considered a public place if there were no fence or signs telling someone not to trespass. Then one could be arrested for carrying a gun openly under the disorderly conduct scenario easier.

If that was the case, then every solicitor that comes to my door could be arrested for trespassing. (Oh, How I wish that were true!)
Dicion, either you confuse me or you mistyped this. How can the lack of a fence and or signs be construed as effective consent? How can not doing anything to prevent someone from entering be construed as effective consent?
