The assertion that an unarmed criminal will, with prior knowledge that the concealed carrier is carrying, attempt to hit him over the head and reach into his pocket, or concealed holster to acquire a weapon is a bone-head argument any way you look at it.Embalmo

I should have been more clear. I agree that this scenario would not happen. I was referring an untrained person who may have access to a gun and just stand there holding it or fumbling around while the BG is standing close to them. It is a different case for the trained CHL, LEO or Loomis guard who, presumably, would shoot.

While debating legal carry with my 70 something step-father, he asserted that my gun is just going to be taken from me and used on me.

I understand that the decision to pull the trigger is very difficult and I won't know until the situation presents itself to me how I will respond. Embalmo

IMO, for a person who hasn't made "the decision" beforehand, this is not a Bone-Head argument. If a person hasn't made "the decision" they shouldn't be carrying because having the gun taken from them is a real possiblity.
