IMO, those assumptions are racist.
Hmmm....interesting.
Why is it I don't see a single post from those who wanted to try to single me out on this very subject. :shocker: Could it be that this is just a slap in the face and it has finally shut those folks up? (I expect a lashing now, so have some fun)
Just goes to show that CCW is a good option and OC can actually make you a target.
I certainly hope this is enough of a duh moment for you OC hard-core folks, to the point that you'll think twice prior to each time you choose to OC. I have for some time, so I hope you will as well after seeing this.
OC and you are a target of opportunity.

OC and you are a target of opportunity that can give BG's a back-up-gun.
Too bad the actual felons committing the actual crimes don't agree with you. Whatever.... there's nothing wrong with you carrying concealed.

Fact: 60% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they
knew the victim was armed. 40% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided
committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed.172
Fact: A survey of felons revealed the following:179
• 74% of felons agreed that "one reason burglars avoid houses when people are at
home is that they fear being shot during the crime."
• 57% of felons polled agreed, "criminals are more worried about meeting an armed
victim than they are about running into the police."

(I expect a lashing now, so have some fun) I thought your OC proudly displayed was supposed to deter BG's from victimizing you...guess that's really not the case now is it and perhaps this ex-military LEO had this issue directly in his crosshairs all along.
Perhaps you and your opinion are not considered important enough to single out. Just saying.
~ I am a big Open Carry advocate, and do so as much as possible. I believe whole heartedly in the right to keep and bear arms, and in normalizing it. I do however realize and respect, that as it becomes more common place, and becomes more accepted and normal, you will have encounters that normal people have. People crash cars, and people will drop guns, and they may discharge. People lose expensive jewelry, and people will sometimes forget their guns in bathrooms or dressing rooms. People get robbed for wallets, jewelry (if they didn’t forget it at Macy’s), and thus, will at a point, get robbed for that nice looking firearm that the BG wants bad enough to risk his life for. These occurrences will be rare and uncommon, but they will happen. I don’t particularly doubt the story. I do think it is too bad, and I am glad the guy is ok. I happen to carry a Back up directly addressing my concern of firearm theft. I also would say, with conviction, ya better kill me before you try to take my gun at gunpoint... I will draw... I will fire.... I would expect to catch a round in the exchange.....I myself am no stranger to pain. This is the code that I as a pistolero must accept if I am to keep safe my arms without fail, or accept that my arm, once relinquished, may cause hardship and loss of life for my frailty or inability to retain it. I take the stance seriously, and accept the conviction as my personal code. My final thoughts, if someone is pointing a gun at me, then they very likely will shoot me, even if I give them what they want… – Alas, to each their own, and I understand many will carry a firearm, yet will relinquish it in the face of extreme adversity in hopes they will not suffer pain or death.
– Normal people make individual choices right? --- Yes they do …. That’s normal.
Bat.
There was another thread here on OCDO about this very incident, back around June. Anyone know where I can find it? Been searching for awhile, but........
OC of COURSE acts as a deterence. Just because one crazy SoB is mentally deranged enough to directly put himself in peril, does not justify your laughable outlook that somehow OC is not deterring.
That struck me as especially humorous.... there are fools out there to whom the gun won't matter! :lol:
This ******** thread still going?
