[QUOTE="Thumper_6119, post: 372683, member: 14611"] It certainly can make someone that is open carrying a target if someone is determined to commit a crime in an area where there are multiple individuals, one or more of which are armed and would pose an impediment to the plans of the person about to commit a crime. But it is also a huge deterrent in a lot situations. Most human predators are not looking for a reputation of defeating people but rather are more concerned with the success of the criminal actions and being able to get away without injuries. Less work more pay type of thing/risk vs reward. Someone presenting even the slightest bit of organized resistance can be a deterrent. It is easier to catch slower, weaker prey. There are plenty of easy targets to be had that won't offer resistance (or at least, will offer less resistance). At least, that has been my experience in dealing with human predators. [/QUOTE]
