Non-resident, open carry on private property
Just thought I'd throw this question out there...
My father lived in Jefferson County WV. He recently passed away,
leaving behind a house and some property. As executor of his estate, I have the responsibility of taking care of the house and property until it gets sold. My father had been in a nursing home for a year prior to his death so I've been taking care of the property for a while. It's fairly remote with a mix of good neighbors and "bad". I've always taken my 870 w/ 18" barrel with me but it's hard to ride around on a tractor with a shotgun on your back! And you tend to look like an idiot.
I have already caught some crack-head stealing stuff (lawn mower, landscape lights, hose, anything not nailed down) by catching him on one of many trail cams I have set up around the house. I was able to identify the person and actually got the stuff back.
The question would be is it perfectly fine for me to open carry a handgun while on the property? Even though I'm a Maryland resident.
