I posted this in my state section (IN), but wanted to know what everyone else thought.
Question: When violence is going to be perpetrated, does OCing make you a target of firtst choice?
99.999% of the time, OCing will deter common criminals. I'm not concerned with that; I'm concerned (for this discussion at least), with that 0.0001% chance that you're in a bank/store, where a hard criminal or former military person or a smart felon, will look to take out the biggest threat (an OCer). does your gun on your hip increase the potential that you will be the first person attacked. i.e. criminal walks into store with intent of armed robbery, etc.; he notices your gun while your back is turned while cashing out at cashier, and determines that he should shoot you first (should bullets fly) since you'll be the greatest threat to his success.
any and all opinions are welcomed and encouraged. cite sources when you can, but use this thread to make intelligent and thoughtful comments. go to work!
