Yea those confrontational OCers, I despise them, they are always causing trouble, and hurting our 2nd Amendment rights. Just look at that menace Titanium Frost, he has been all over the place running amok with his rifle and whatnot. Daring the police and citizens to confront him so he can make them tremble in their boots.
What is all this about "tactics" this isn't a war. You are not trying to sneak up and execute a bad guy. If you can prevent the problem from happening, and nobody has to die, it's a win-win.
Maybe by killing the BG you save the life of a future victim? I guess if you are thinking about it that way, CC might have a tactical advantage.
I don't know what this fascination about "surprising" the robber is all about.
You can surprise them just as good when they look at you and see you are armed and they walk away and you never know it happened.
I don't doubt there are cases where OCers have their guns taken, I also imagine it has happened to police officers before. But how often does that happen? Are there any statistics compiled?
How many planes crash compared to OCers getting hit over the head and their guns taken?
If a few incidents in years justifies you never OCing in fear of it happening, then you might not want to drive a car.
I think OCing has more benefits than risks, just like the convenience of driving does.
Nothing wrong with making political statements either, I don't see how any pro-gun person can think that way. Any political statement outside of an organized rally is abusing your right, and improper? Really?
Around the house and locally ( we live out in the county ) I wear a leather Bianchi holster, the Black Widow one, it has a retention snap.
Other places I wear the Level 3 Retention Serpa holster at 3 0'Clock
The last reports I saw were incredibly low. Far into the single digit percentages as far as people trying to take LEOs weapons.
I would further wager that they aren't targeted for their gun by such individuals, but rather because the person has had previous experience with LE that gives them a serious distaste for authority figures and entices them to target a LEO merely because he is a LEO.
But no real way to track all of that sort of data without having agencies to do so.
