I, for one, welcome Google’s entry into the security field, and eagerly await their development and publication of a downloadable, 3D printable, pulse rifle in the 40 Gigawatt range.
There’s so much wrong with this story. This almost sounds like the SUMDOOD version of “I went fishing with all my guns and they fell in the lake.”
“I was out at 2am openly carrying my new gat, and sumdood came up and bummed a smoke, and then he jacked my gat too. That’s why I don’t have any guns…”
I don’t doubt the possibility that some goober is that dumb and condition white. But the story just seems….wrong.
I think the likeliest version of the story is he was out showing off his shiny new toy to his cousin, and completely unaware of his surroundings, and sumdood really did take his gun because he was too stupid to have it. And rather than admit he was being foolish and showing it off while completely oblivious to his surroundings, he claims he was “openly carrying” and robbed of it.

Sounds like wrong place right time. Bad neighborhood 2 AM… Sounds like something not even a concealed carrier would do..
So is it irony that the criminal had to flash that he had a Concealed gun to rob an open carrier?

A fool and his gun are soon parted.

Massive situational awareness fail. I get the impression this guy would have been robbed regardless of what was in his pocket.

I wonder if a holster was involved on either side of this transaction.

And, of course, his carry gun was a Walther P22. . .

Just one of the reasons I don’t OC is cause it allows robbers to plan a bit ahead and get rid of me.
Might as well wear a Rolex watch and flash some cash while you are at it.
