I just came across this article:
OPEN CARRY: People Are FLIPPING Out Over This VIRAL Pic (Does It Bother YOU?)

I assume that it's due to the venue that most of the comments are positive but one thing that keeps coming up in those comments is the statement that they feel that if anything untoward were to happen the open carrier would be the first person shot.

Can anyone provide any statistics to validate this opinion?

Has anybody noticed ANY stories of open carriers being shot during an altercation or robbery?
I mean BEFORE they drew their weapon.

BTW - I open carry every time I leave the house, everywhere I legally can.
That includes my doctor's office (which isn't in a hospital).

Where are these imaginary people with their faux outrage? So one scaredy-dufus with a camera phone takes a picture of a law-abiding citizen and now "people are flipping out"?

This country has lost it's collective mind.

This happens so infrequently that law enforcement at large does not track this statistic. You would have to review every single murder case and see if their was a reference to it. The lack of a mention doesn't mean they were not OC'ing. So, I would not consider that evidence either.
