OC disaster?

I saw this first at Uncle's site, and more at Robb Allen's. A gentleman open carrying his firearm was robbed at gunpoint:

But it wasn't scary for at least one person who robbed "The guy with the gun" at gunpoint.

Note that 'scary' and 'The guy with the gun' are his hoplophobic neighbor's terms.

Now I've not been paying attention to these sorts of things that long, but so far, this is the first instance that anyone can point to where an armed, OC citizen has been robbed.

The article linked is short on facts, so we don't know things like 'did this happen in a high-crime area', or whether the perp approached from the 'weak' side (and didn't even see the firearm until he was committed), or whether the victim was in 'White' mode ...... nor are we likely to know.

The point is, be aware .... practice with your gear, the way you carry it. And understand that there are criminals out there who don't give a rip whether you're armed or not.
