BeerSleeper:
I'm sure all the vociferous open-carry advocates here are saying
A) "You can't use this to condemn OC because we don't know if the victim was OC'ing", and
B) "The victim couldn't possibly have been carrying openly, because we know for a fact that OC is a deterrent that makes criminals quake in their boots!"
I certainly don't expect this to put an end to all the convoluted rationalizations for OC by guys who (consciously or subconciously) just can't get enough of the attention that comes from strutting around with a gun on their hip, and who, in defiance of all logic and commonsense (not to mention any understanding of thug mentality) will continue to try to justify it.

If it's CC, nobody knows it's there unless you attempt to draw. It can't be snatched if its presence is unknown.
An OC right out there for all to see. Maybe it's a deterrent, and thugs will just go elsewhere, or maybe the thug thinks, "I can snatch that."
