Hey, I support your desire to open carry. It’s a free world. But I don’t have Magic Ninja Powers, so I don’t want constantly be looking behind me.

As for examples, you are I hope aware that many cops are killed with their own pistols?

I don’t think a civilian will be less prone to having his plain-view uber-pistol heisted than a uniformed cop.

And it happens to them all the time.

Hmm, don't seem to read about 'em all the time and I must be on the wrong channels because I'm missing them all in my daily perusing... darn high tech cable box thingy. ;-)

Experts will tell you take if you are carrying at all (OC or CC), situational awareness is important. Knowing what is around you at all times. A fairly athletic teen can rush you from 21 feet faster than most people could draw. Saying you do not want to be nothered to be aware of what is behind you is a mystery to me if you are as serious as you make it sound in your posts.

Even if I CC I am cognizant of what is behind me. But hey, that's just me. And no ninja powers involved. That was a silly thing to say in the first place.

Where cops walk patrols, I do not need to.

One of the first rules of staying safe is staying away from where the BG's are if possible. Cops cannot do that, hence the takeaways that sometimes happen.

But show me where that happens with OCers.
