Title: Open carry on the lawn mower.
Post by: trailtwister on June 18, 2015, 02:24:10 PM
Couple years ago I told the home owner of a lawn I do I had seen a coyote run across his lawn. Tuesday I was mowing there again and he came out to talk and said his wife had seen a coyote come into the back yard on Saturday. He said it was OK for me to carry just not shoot the house or barn.

Wish I had a 41 Mag.

Yup, but wonder if a 357mag is enough for coyotes at 40 to 50 yards.

185gr'er at 100yds whilst groundhogging one July 4th weekend. I would think at 40-50yds you would be juuuuust fine with your side arm.  :biggrin: :biggrin:
