I find it interesting that you're not addressing the fact that I rebutted your assertion that open carry is a deterrent.

I mean, it is a deterrent right up until the time it isn't .

I'm not a cop I was a security guard and the reason I make that distinction is because I I'm not required to go out looking for bad guys. If I run into one it's like everybody else I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I am absolutely positive that there were three times that somebody was setting me up for a gun grab. All three times it was an impulsive act on the part of the other person and all three times it was a random encounter. Like I said, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. You may really walk past the wrong person in Walmart and have them just reach out and try to take your gun and you had better be prepared for that.

As I said before, the guy who is willing to go after a cop or willing to go after me isn't going to think twice about going after the average open carrier.
