And open carry just lets the criminal element target you before you are aware you are their target.

I'd just like one example of this happening.

Columbine, Virginia Tech, the National Mall... ALL of the shooters took out the armed targets present first.

Ah, vacuously true statements; the key to winning any argument! ;)

How about a historical one.

Wild Bill Hickok's death. Noted lawman, scout and gambler,while armed, was shot by an disgruntled gambler. WB’s gun nor his reputation didn't “scare” his murderer.

BTW Despite the Hollywood image, most gunfights weren't two gunfighters staring down each other in the town street. They were, quit frankly ambushes and not “fair fights”
