If you aren't surrounded by a lot of seemingly law abiding people who would probably be willing to testify truthfully, and instead you're in a secluded area, or perhaps if you're in a racist and perhaps or perhaps not ghetto area and you aren't the right "race" for the opinions of many locals, you should have a comfort zone of 15 or maybe 20 feet where anyone even remotely questionable within that zone puts you on high alert. Either that or conceal, and preferably still do the comfort zone thing.
Again, I won't comment on what may have happened here. But I do think it's important to mention that as OCers, we have an obligation to put our lives in potentially added danger if someone tries to rob us for our gun or guns, because we need to do everything we can to stop such a thing. One of the worst things we could allow to happen is to turn over a gun to a killer. We have a responsibility to stop that, even if it means a greater risk of death to us, so that we don't by default end up putting anyone else at risk.
