My Ruger SP101 fits just right on my side.

Define yard?
Usually a J frame in my pocket.

The yard gun is one that is with you while doing outside chores around the house.

No predators to worry about except for the 2 legged kind <well maybe stray dogs or coyotes>........so.....Used to be a CZ-82. Now it's a P-11. Both has the same capacity of 12+1 but the 9x19 packs a little more punch and I love the true DAO

Yard/Truck Guns
As a ready long gun around the house I keep a 22 Romanian trainer on the wall with 2 magazines, 1 with CCI HP, another with Aquila sub-sonic.
20 ga single barrel with #6, #8 and buckshot handy. In the pick-up, ammo as well so I just leave "house stash" alone. Ithaca 37 at bedside, 00 and some express #4 with it. Get a small plastic bottle and cut off top. Stick the end of barrel in it when the muzzle is in the floot board, protects your crown. And of course whatever I am concealed carrying this week. I am not of the "one gun" school, I practice with them all, carry several differant handguns. Pray and Shoot Daily. Lee Jones(Celtgun) |

Depends on the mood. I rotate the G19 and the RIA compact/tactical 1911 regularly. Long guns also change with season/mood. Marlin 336 30-30 WASR AK-47 or the winchester 243. I also like to mix it up if you can't tell

Typically a .22cal Beeman air rifle (break action type) hanging just inside the workshop door for most yard pests.
Whatever CCW I would be carrying anyway. The area near where I live used to be a popular spot for various illegal transactions (hookiing, drugs, etc) and we had to deal with some of the traffic to and from. A couple of years of cooperative work with the local police dept and the neighbors has made that area very UN-popular and evenings are restfully quiet these days.

My 4 dogs are with me out there, better than a gun, a gun cant alert you to strangers like my dog can. Then again, never had anyone come up to me when out doing my chores. I dont always carry a weapon, but when I do, it is a 1911 in .45 Stay safe my friends... |

For most of the yard / shop it's a LCR , if mowing near the road a stainless GP100 in a slightly too small holster for visual presence.

A Para SKS with the tactical muzzle break and a chest bandolier carrying 300 rounds for any immediate social needs. I have this over my normal 5.11 combat shirt/jacket and trousers and level II kevlar. I do not normally feel the need for ceramic plates but I have one set inside the front door and another set stashed "somewhere else". I also have a Glock 20 with 4 mags loaded with high tech Extreme Shock ammo that only operators can get legally, but I have the paperwork to prove who I am. I have a "BUG" which stands for "Back Up Gun" on my ankle (Ruger SP101) also loaded with the best, Extreme Shock instant incapacitation ammunition. I have a variety of weapons "salted" throughout the compound which covers 3/4 of an acre, so you can see I might need a "New York Reload" at any time if the SHTF and I am out back in the bush TCB keeping my skill set sharp. I take this stuff seriously unlike many folks who think it is a game. I also have a built in alarm system with my Irish Setter/Shar Pei cross which I trained myself for security work. I also have a goose that is not afraid to honk when a potential "Tango" is spotted. I hope this helps.

Simply my EDCs, namely a Kimber UCDP in .45 ACP, open carried while home, and a Glock 29, open carried when at the northern property.

I live on the lake, but in a pretty developed area. The main unwelcome critters I run into around the yard are cottonmouths and copperheads. I carry an S&W J-frame 442 loaded shotshell-JHP-shotshell-JHP-JHP when doing yardwork.

To get into my yard, you have to get past the Claymores, so I can just sunbathe in my thong (and tuque in the winter) with my clacker in one hand and mojito in the other

Claymores, thongs, and tuques
WA, you made me go google something.... Funny, I'd heard Bob and Doug McKenzie talk and even sing about tuques, but I never realized that's how the word is spelled.
So, do you have exploding Claymores, or the types wielded by Highlanders? I'm working very hard NOT to picture a bunch of kilted bodyguards, watching over your thong-clad, mojito-tippling self... |
