If you spent some time actually researching this opinion you would find examples of this happening extremely rare. It discussed often at opencarry.org.Purplehood wrote:I hate to sound like the proverbial Oscar Mayer hotdog, but in the back of my mind is the nagging suspicion that though you may be a law-abiding citizen practicing OC, not everyone else is. I don't care how big or bad you are, some joker/perp/simple-minded individual may simply decide to grab your weapon and proceed from there.
I for one prefer being able to anonymously carry my weapon and not worry about grabby paws in crowds of people. I know that in 24 years of service I saw plenty of people that I would charitably refer to as "simple" that were handed weapons and I did not want to be anywhere near them.
I really don't see the benefit to open-carry. There, I said it.
There are more examples that occur each and every day of folks not having a gun when they need it or being unsuccessful at using their firearm to defend themselves.
Different strokes.
I also agree that there are many things we need more than OC.
