I'm not against OC if that's what a person chooses to do.

Buuut...to argue that OC does not present more of a chance of the OC'd weapon to be taken, IMO, is very naive at best.

If everyone agrees that many criminals engage mostly in crimes of opportunity then it would only stand to reason if we OC we present more of an opportunity to have our weapon taken simply cause we're displaying/advertising our weapon than someone CC'ing where the bad guy doesn't know we have a gun in the first place.
Common sense tells me...If you advertise something that someone wants, you stand a better chance of having that 'something' taken.
Too, there have been cases where BG's guys have taken an LEO's weapon, would it not stand to reason that these same BG's would take a non- LEO civilians weapon also?

I'll take the cc or 'outta sight- outta mind' approach, but again, I can see a place for OC in certain arena's.
