I just assumed this was another "when is it too early to mow" threads. But no, it wasn't. My question, and this is coming from both an avid firearms and mowing enthusiast, is what kind of neighborhood do you reside in that necessitates the strapping on of your heater?

It sounds like he is using a push mower if it has a pull string start. He might be packing heat in case he comes across a snake. I've done it once or twice if I knew where one had been hiding but using a riding mower I don't feel the need to be packing most of the time for critters.
