Hey, I support your desire to open carry. It’s a free world. But I don’t have Magic Ninja Powers, so I don’t want constantly be looking behind me.
As for examples, you are I hope aware that many cops are killed with their own pistols?
I don’t think a civilian will be less prone to having his plain-view uber-pistol heisted than a uniformed cop.
And it happens to them all the time.
>> And I will ask one more time. Show me all of the stories about people who OC getting jumped as per your example.
How about at a state-maintained rifle range? Happened to a fella at a West Virginia state-maintained firing range, not long before I visited in summer ‘09. I don’t know the details & am pinging the ‘native’ who hopefully does, but due to timing I had a real uncomfortable couple of seconds while there.
We had one heck of a time finding the spot once inside the park, and my shooting buddy seemed to move slower than usual as we waited for a group to cram into their car and get gone. Later, he casually explained about the man who’d been at that very range previously & was shot dead by someone who wanted his weapon(s).
I strolled to my car to retrieve another gun to fire. A contact picked that moment to pop out of my eye (luckily into the car interior) just as I noticed a pickup approaching the site. So there I was, my friend’s caution fresh in my ears, fumbling frantically for a lost contact with my back/butt to my buddy AND the stranger driving up! [Turned out to be the guy who maintains the range & all was well.] However, I well remember how useless I felt to back up my friend despite having at least one gun strapped on me & several others nearby.
