VA friends,
There's a discussion on open-carry in VT and NH on-going over at Northeast Shooters Forum (which is more often really the " Massachusetts Shooters Forum," but I digress). The usual nay-sayer arguments are present ("scare the people, they'll change the laws, SWAT team, set our cause back, targeted by every criminal, etc"), and then, when one posted asked for proof of the "targeted by criminals" argument, this was posted:
I've been following OCDO since it's inception, and I sure don't recall anything like this, albeit the original post is remarkably devoid of any facts. Internet fairy tale?
FWIW, the thread is mildly amusing, and is located here: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30227

Down in Virginia a while back, an off-duty officer in plainclothes was wearing his gun openly. Some robbers came into the grocery store I think it was, saw him immediately and made him surrender his weapon, then proceeded to rob the store blind.
