Please cite a single verifiable incident where I ever claimed it did happen.
Please stop spreading the myth that open carrying a firearm makes you a super hero.
In my opinion its most sensible that if a criminal sees a firearm and hasnt already initiated their attack that they will avoid contact for fear of being shot. This seems like common sense to me. But it seems just plain naive to think that nobody has, or ever will be, robbed of their gun and/or targeted because OF the gun.
Their has been atleast of story where the man who was robbed said he believed he was targeted for his gun. Also keep in mind that many crimes go unreported.
Since when is having a differing opinion or contemplating hypothetical situations "spreading myths"?
Suggest you sit down a spell and let's chat. Even being a fairly new poster here you are entitled to an "opinion" but few will support unsubstantiated "feelings" or suggesting that well based responses are "naive" just because you think/feel it is so.
Spreading "myths" is when the facts are contrary to your "opinion" and when NOT substantiated by data. We deal in facts here. We expect cites. You might think that we should tolerate rants contrarily formed - we do not. The 1st one taken out theory or it'll just get taken from you warning if not myths ARE old wives tales.
With that in mind, I offer you this specific homework assignment: Find us one (1) documented cite, where a legal OCer was ever preemptively taken out, had his gun taken as the primary target in a robbery or snatched anywhere in modern times in these United States - LEOs, security and military excepted.
Your one referenced incident has some serious problems/questions regarding the circumstances, so you'll excuse me if I ask for one (1) other. Will this possibly happen some day? Without a doubt, but the resultant numbers will reflect a ratio/decimal equivalent somewhat like .000001%. How much change would you expect in those numbers if there were 5 or 6 such incidents?
With all of that said, I welcome you to OCDO, but you cannot jump in with both feet contrary to what the great multitude here has found to be will documented, sound principle and proceed to tell us where and why we are wrong without being the direct recipient of some frustration. Take a deep breath, join in, but do listen a lot and learn.
'Nuff said?
