So, is there documentation of every time you make a decision that we can look up on Google? Of course not. It's the same for criminals who pass up visibly armed citizens for an easier target. If you read some of the information out there that you can Google, criminals have been interviewed about how they select their victims and how they react to armed citizens. You can look up that information. I believe John Lott, Jr, who conducted some of those interviews, has sections in his books that reference those interviews.
Bottom line, if you have any understanding of how criminals select their victims, it's pretty obvious that most, not all, are going to pass up a target they consider a tough target. An open carrier, who isn't distracted and is paying attention to their surroundings, is definitely not an easy target and not one that many criminals would try to interact with.
I gather 3 main points from your argument
1)you believe what these otherwise untrustworthy criminals tell you after they're caught? Really? That's interesting.
2)you want me to let post 3210 go as having been poorly worded and don't think you exactly Google this as a one for one?
3)you feel like you can be "turned on" all the time while open carrying, thus you are protecting yourself passively by a show of lethal force?
