It would definitely be a justified shooting. With that being said I'm not carrying 2 guns.Draw 2nd gun

The problem is they typically are oblivious to their surrounds and have zero weapon retention/H2H skills and scumbags can tell with one look.What I have noticed with open carry folks are 1) They think it is a deterrent. 2) If ever in a situation, they think they are Doc Holliday and will get the jump on the other guy.
What I keep seeing… report after report of a open carrier being relieved of their gun.
Reality, open carry is like putting up a gun free zone sign, the bad guy still has the advantage, they know you have a gun before you are aware of them.
Yep! How often do you see LEO's get relieved of their guns? The problem is not open carry.The problem is they typically are oblivious to their surrounds and have zero weapon retention/H2H skills and scumbags can tell with one look.
Yup. If you're gunna open carry your presence better command respect.The problem is they typically are oblivious to their surrounds and have zero weapon retention/H2H skills and scumbags can tell with one look.

EVERYTHING happens. People with a CC weapon get in trouble often too. The point is situational awareness. Many have none of it. Some of them I have known I often wondered how they survived life they were so bad at it. Far worse now as so many walk around staring at their phone and do not see ANYTHING going on around them. Open carry is not the problem with people who go through life with no clue what is going on around them LEO or not.It happens… off duty and on.

I agree with that comment...I suspect he wasn't going to let his ego and 'attitudes' interfere with his bad decision to attempt to chase the guy down but sometimes discretion is the better part of valor - and the smarter move.
Situational awareness is first in line with Jeff Cooper's Principles of Personal Defense...alertness, decisiveness, aggressiveness, speed, coolness, ruthlessness and surprise.Reading Left of Bang along with taking combat hunter in the Marine Corps was a great foundation in , reading people, picking out abnormalities etc.
Principles I carry throughout my daily existence to this day.

Without it you're completely behind the curve and must be made up with the other principles, which can be very difficult if not impossible.

I was simply agreeing with you.#'s 3 & 6.
When I drive and have no passengers my passenger seat gets pushed all the way up to the dash. Making it very difficult for someone to jump in. Doors stay locked at all times. Windows up with the possibility of a minor crack at the top.Not long ago, there were videos online of old white guys being stopped by people standing in the street (sometimes in a residential area), and then being dragged from their vehicle and beaten.
I'm pretty sure the possibility of that kind of experience wasn't even on their radar when they got behind the wheel that day. Strange days in the good old USA.
Even for those of us who have at least a little bit of situational awareness, that kind of thing would be surprising.
Regarding open vs concealed carry - there might be times when open carry is a benefit (during war, for example), but I don't know if there's a compelling reason for OC when we're going to a donut shop.
