Get a cpl!! In my neck of the woods it draws the same attention but open over concealed one in the same I don't agree yet open is legal and you should have your head on a swivel at all times!!

Sucky. Not a whole lot to say without details of how it went down. Are they saying the robber had no gun to start with and took his and robbed him? Or did the robber have a gun and then take his as well?

The Rober now has two guns. Probably bolth stolen.

If you clicked on the video, they state that the open-carry "victim" attempted to draw his pistol and couldn't get it out of the holster.

 

How little do you practice if you can't draw from an open holster?  What's going to happen next time, when this guy starts to carry concealed (as stated in the video)?

 

As you train, so you act.

I missed that part lol. I sit around at work during down time and practice. Just drop the hood and half draw. Do it over and over and over. I use the same safariland holster for both of my jobs. (P99/M&P) just to keep it simple.

I've got a feeling the guy's stature is more like "Barney Fife" and less like Nik Clark who got interviewed.

I'd like to know what kind of a holster it was (or the combination - holster and pistol).  Wonder if the victim even practiced drawing. 

 

Some holsters are tight, and you twist the pistol to draw.  Most of the time that's Kydex, but my Mernickle leather for my XD is like that - twist, or it's not coming out.  You can't straight-pull from it. Takes practice. 

 

It also takes mindset.  The guy open carries a pistol because he's been robbed before.  Just open carrying isn't the answer.  He needs to have the will to draw on someone.

^^^ The will to pull that pistol.^^^ Fuk yea.
