When a BG is selecting a victim and knows you're armed, he will simply turn away and find someone else. The approach stage doesn't happen until the predator has weighed the pro's and con's of an encounter.As a civilian our biggest advantage is our CCL surprise. When open carrying a BG approaching you knows you’re armed, and is prepared for it.
Further OC in most urban areas bring unwanted attention to one’s self, and I don’t like that. So to answer your question, I would almost never carry if I had to OC.
