You would get your gun taken and get jumped

Which means you would suffer the same fate as if you concealed. If you get jumped, its because you were not aware of your surroundings. If you have your gun stolen, its because you let someone get that close.

Conceal vs open carry doesnt matter in your "hood". Situational awareness matters

Let's say your in a gas station theirs a line someones behind you takes your gun what you gonna do

That's what happened to the officer

Its called hand to hand combat.

The federal government spent alot of money on me. Im not concerned

Then you get sucker punched by the guy that was looking at the chips

And the other 3 carriers in that line at the gas station get in on it. I live in a rural area. Not very diverse. People here dont take kindly to hoosiers starting crap like that.

Here not many people carry

We live in 2 separate worlds.

Everyone carries in Missouri

Besides, it takes more than you know to steal a gun from a holster with some kind of latch. You should try it with a friend. If you get your gun taken, its your fault.

They knew the cop holster is hard to take from the were felons

There were 3 of them

Most have a button for the thumb to depress and move the strap forward.

1 struggled with him for the gun the others beat him

So there's the whole story. It wasnt one guy stealing it from behind his back. It was a collaboration of 3 guys mobbing the cop.

Yeah they were against cops

Yeah open carry is not the problem there. Situational awareness is

Wouldnt have mattered if he concealed or not. He was getting beat

They gave up once they beat him

But a similar thing could happen to a normal guy

The moral of the story is never go anywhere alone and maintain situational awareness

Moral of the story don't go to a gas station in the hood at night

Thats common sense.

I also have a 12 gauge in my car. 18.5" barrel with a pistol grip and 6 rounds of 00 buck. My ARs sometimes make an appearance in my vehicle but its not that hairy just yet.

Pretty sure my state dosnt allow you to have a fire arm in the vehicle unless it's stored away

And can't be easily accessed

Thats why things are so hairy in your neck of the woods. Gun control breeds violence.

An armed population is a polite population

Only ones armed here the criminals

The only ones not armed here are the criminals, lol. Move out here. You'll like it

There isn't much gun control here though

Its more frowned upon

Allot of business don't allow it

Thats what I carry every day. Cheap enough I can break it, lose it, etc and not drain my account yet accurate and reliable enough to serve as an EDC.

Its too big to conceal carry not much ammo in one mag

You dont need much ammo if you shoot straight. Mag changes happen so fast that capacity doesnt really matter. I have a 14 + 1 SD40 and it needs all 15 rounds just to hit something.

I have a shoulder holster for this and it does quite well with a jacket

In the heat of the moment you can panic and miss
