[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 2267545, member: 239"] A visibly armed citizen is a deterent not a target. An openly armed citizen represents the possibility of resistance, effective resistance; strength. It is not typical predator behavior to attack those that can effectively resist. It's in their safety manual. When on the job don't mess with those that can fight back. Situation: A criminal or two or three walk into a bank. They intend to rob it. They see an armed citizen. 1) They choose to shoot the armed citizen. Teller takes a half second to press the button to call police. Silent alarm or bells ringing - makes no difference the LAW is on the way. Criminals take 2 to 3 minutes or more to clean out the registers (lets not talk vault - the criminals are on the clock - get in get out). The cops will show up to an active bank robbery in progress alarm within 2 to 3 minutes easily - high priority crime and all. End result - criminals are caught or killed. Criminals want in and out fast and with no fuss. The time served for bank robbery is way less than for murder - especially in OK. Criminals know this. OR.... 2) The criminal(s) choose to turn around, leave the bank and find one where there are no armed citizens to interfere and they can control the situation to a much greater and safer degree. But wait you say. Criminals are stupid and cowardly. I say go on believing that right up to the point that your mugger walks up to one of you guys with a concealed weapon and points his gun right at your face. Go ahead! Pull yur piece. Good Luck. Your're gonna need it. So much for not annoying the sheep (think many will show up to your funeral?) And so much for the ccw'rs vaunted tactical surprise. As Pak-40 said "Predators prey on the weak". They don't mess around with those that can mess around right back at them. They don't unnecessarily put their lives at risk. Just because they are criminals who live outside the law doesn't make them stupid nor does it make them cowards. Do the research - look up predator psychology and behavior. Get back to me when you do. [/QUOTE]
