One instance. One. Unless you can come up with another instance involving a citizen (not LEO).
It doesn't get much press, but it happens. I know of one case in my area this year, and one other in a neighboring town. The second case involved the gun falling out of the victim's holster while standing on line at a supermarket. The guy behind him grabbed it and took off. Neither made the internet, but most stuff like this doesn't.

Since you want two documented cases, here's an oldie but goody.

So let's ban open carry! Yay!
Please point out here or anywhere else where I have pushed for banning open carry. Otherwise it's just more of the personal attacks I get when I voice skepticism of the utility of it. Frankly, I've never known it to change things for the better, while I've known it to change things for the worse.

There are risks. It can cause problems. Those are the things I want people to understand so they don't go out and make things worse for all of us.
