I used to be a Guard/Driver for a Nationally known Armoured Car Company. Our Company Safety Officer told us many times that if armed robbers were going to hit one of our Trucks, they would do so with weapons already drawn and quite possibly firing at us as they did so. He went on to say that our weapons were basically just cosmetic, and to keep them holstered. Our weapons were there only to keep the honest people honest. I still believe what B2Tall said to be relevant - If your in a store and a BG walks in and sees your OC'ing you will be the first target, I don't care what you've seen on YouTube!!!
I find it hilarious that you have to resort to comparing an armored car robbery to Joe Citizen getting shot first in the convenience store robbery. Why? Because you can't produce ONE example of Joe Citizen getting shot first because they were open carrying. NOT ONE! Why don't you try to tell us next that these four officers were shot first because they were open carrying?

Give me a break. The only place where Joe Citizen open carrier gets shot first is in the imaginations of those who are against open carry.
