Not many criminals are looking for someone to kill them. They want an easy target. A helpless one if possible.

Regarding having your gun taken from you - again - situational awareness and proper tools. Carrying openly without a retention holster is just plain stupid. Just like carrying concealed and printing is.
Exactly that's why I think stealth would be more successful. If they can take a persons watch and wallet without them knowing it I don't see how that glock would be any more difficult.
