Can I open carry at these locations?

I got to a shooting range with my father every few weeks. It's on federal ground, but we've yet to see anyone else using it. It's closed off to the public and is strictly for employees and their friends/family. Would it be alright to open carry a pistol there?

Can I also open carry anywhere on my property? Would I be allowed to open carry on my front yard, driveway, etc.? I'm slightly worried as I live next to one neighbor whose whole family is very very anti-gun. The adults that live there almost pooped their pants when they saw me take a shotgun out of my trunk into my house a few weeks ago. I don't want them calling the police on me for no reason.

My understanding is that on your own property, open carry is legal. Step into the street to get your mail and you are now violating the law.

Meybe your neighbors need to see you OC on a regular basis so they start to understand that you are not a threat. It may take a while, but stick to it.
