Aparently when you open carry, the criminal element knows you have a gun and a few of them may decide to take it from you at gun point. I know this has been discussed here at length, but this is a recent news article on how it just happened. The owner did retrieve a 2nd gun and start shooting at the guy and seemed to get his rifle back. Oddly enough another guy shot the robber after the fact. The climate today is different and the rules are different than they were in prior years. Criminals are emboldened by the current 2 tier justice system of revolving doors for them and charging the good guy with a gun with murder when it is self defense. Clown world seems to have changed how criminals behave.
