Thats a Great idea. With all the Coyotes and woodchucks and field mice yo need something short & handy that will pack a varity of loads. A revolver does that. Load a chanber with birdshot and the next with some paper patched wadcutters at reduced power, then go for hollowpoints in a couple of chambers.
Just know & shoot your rotation so that you never miss.
Is a sholder holdster better or do you make a rak on the mower next to the beer holder?
Maybe a little six pack cooler with a holdster screwed or velcrowed on to it whole rig bungcorderd down on the front of the mower.
lets see your Easy Mower Rifle Racks designs.

Sure hope you have it painted camouflage and installed haft tracks. We just need some pictures of this one.
Only carry while I'm on my mower?I carry 24/7.I own three properties.All are side by side.One was broken into eight times and the one I live in was broken into three times.I have had numerous attempts on the buildings at my other property.Having a gun and knowing when and how to use it,is the only thing that's kept me from loosing every thing.Since the housing boom started in the early 90's,I've had nothing but problems with dopers and thieves.So do I carry a gun while I am on my mower?Damn right!It's my right as a citizen of the USA and I'll just be damned if anyone will take it away.

Where I live there is no need, but back in Texas I use to carry a rifle because of snakes because I can't stand the sight of one. I had five acres of mostly pine and some hard wood trees, but had almost an acre for house and yard. Nothing wrong with carrying a weapon back in your parts of the country or anywhere else for that matter.
Absolutely, an Ed Brown 45ACP. With todays economy and the way people are getting, what the heck am I going to do if someone or several people roll up on my while I am mowing out in the country and....well steal my mower after beating the crap out of me or killing me if I have no way of defending myself with a solid firearm. If happened to a neighbor down the road from me and they took his nice new John Deer and left him bleeding in the yard. It will not go well for those who try that at my location and with an hour wait time to get a county sheriff to my house, I would rather have 12 trying me than 6 carrying me. It unfortunately is the way things are going in this country, especially with all the illegal aliens now in this country.....JMHO

I agree with pearlmanz "It unfortunately is the way things are going in this country, especially with all the illegal aliens now in this country.....JMHO" I remember a time in Iowa when you didn't have to lock your doors or take the keys out of your vehicle. To bad those times are long gone. For what you pay for some of these tractors and farm equipment it makes me wonder just how many have been have been ripped off. It is the same here in California, the police get to a call thirty minutes or longer afterwards, because they go from one to another non stop. A gun owner at least has a tool to protect himself and his family. Yow a 9mm won't make a lot of them even fall down, but a .45 will. I'm a minority here in California because Mexican's outnumber us about three to one, most of them here illegally with a house full of kids, all American citizens because they were born here.

I agree. I don't know if it has gotten to the point that this next quote applies yet but one could see the negative ramifications to being unarmed should the downward trend continue. "If you don't carry a gun, you shall be ruled over by someone who does". And like Clint Eastwood said, "There's people with guns and there's people who dig" (for people who have guns). I seem to recall him handing out shovels as he pointed his firearm in the general direction of those nearby. LOL. I would just really hate to come in from cutting the grass to find my house occupied by someone who kills me with my own weapons which were stored neatly away so as not to offend anyone. Also, I don't invite trouble either. I keep my firearms concealed from the public until I am forced to show them. Again, I agree. Keep yourself and your neighbors safe.
