Street guys. Please give direct technical answers.

Exept the results are worse as you would be responsible for that stolen gun.

And the threat is higher because someone wants that gun more than your glasses.

True enough but that does not match up with the odds of a gun being forcefully taken away from someone.
I am Not trying to diminish the threat, just trying to add some realism to the equation. Even when I open carry, it is going to be damn hard for someone to just walk up and talk my gun out of the holster.
Hence the glasses in the eye reference.
Again, it has a Lot to do with preparation, awareness, and education.

It happens to cops during struggles as well, it’s well documented. This is why some guys like retention holsters that have a draw release. If you hip carry, a guy behind you has the perfect angle to draw your weapon. If I’m appendix or shoulder carrying concealed there is less chance of printing and thus revealing my firearm. I concede that open hip carry is much faster on the draw. Again, this is unlikely, particularly in rural areas, but it does happen.

Who said it never happens?
I said people who Do carry need to be very, very informed, practiced, and prepared.
