IMHO, the Tampa Bay incident does not fit into the category that comes to mind when someone makes a statement about being attacked while open carrying. I maintain that people are talking about a criminal of some sort attacking an open carrier either to obtain the firearm or to aid the commission of a crime such as armed robbery. The anti-2A dude exhibited insanity for jumping on the OC guy just for having the firearm. I think of that one like a "do-it-yourself SWATing".mojo84 wrote:Here's a case where the gun was exposed while getting out of the car and then the guy was attacked inside Walmart for carrying. http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafe ... or/2214432" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
As far as the bat victim, even he thinks it was because he was open carrying. He said he won't do it in the future.

I think in some cases people will be targeted for their guns and others they won't. It comes down to situational awareness and being prepared. There is risk with Liberty.
