I need help, i don't know what pisses me off more, how ignorant this guy is, or how unprepared i was for this argument.
This is in the facebook thread for McDonnell privatizing liqueur sales in VA.
this idiot is saying robbers are more likely to rob you if your open carrying!!!
--------------------------
ME chuck, open carry, it tends to discourage people from robbing you and others near you.
DUDE: Dave, open carry is not as much of a deterrent as some think. A crook would much rather rob you of your gun as it generally can be sold for more than the amount of cash most people carry on their person.
ME: a hobo armed with his rusty knife would target an unarmed person long before he would attempt to rob and armed citizen.
DUDE: Dave, thats a nice fantasy, but armed people frequently get robbed of their $$$ and their firearms. It all come down to who has the gun drawn first, and most of the time its the crook.
