[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 2694358, member: 6281"] I can't find much hard data on this at all but its common sense to me if you look at patterns of different robberies, home invasions, rapes, etc. On thing I see most common is the bad guy wants every advantage to avoid getting his ass kicked. The small women and old people are top targets and there is hard data on that. Maybe the bad guy has help from one or more guys to gain an advantage. Bad guys are largely cowards. Patterns of their behavior shows us this. Of course there are exceptions to this. Like the guys tweaked out on drugs and think they are 10' tall and bullet proof or as mentioned earlier, crazy people. But I could argue about crazy people being cowards and wanting no confrontation as well. The dude that shot up the movie theatre in CO is bat **** crazy IMHO and he chose a Gun free zone to do his killing. He didn't want anyone shooting back. When's the last time a bad guy walked into a police station and went off with a full mag? Never likely but it may have happened in some rare instance. They want a soft target, no gun shooting back, no big muscle heads that can beat their ass... I believe to understand their patterns and behavior you have to think like them. Does a criminal want to rob a bank with 2 big strapping armed guards or a bank that's got a 60 year old rent a cop? Easy answer. Does a robber want to walk in a dinner that advocates open carry activities inside knowing everyone has guns and they shoot often? Easy answer. I have seen stories where a pair of hoodlums appeared to be casing a place and after walking in and seeing a few hip mounted guns, they immediately left to probably find a softer target. [/QUOTE]
