Or goes walking around with this in their back pocket and get robbed. Dispite what people think, open-carriers are far more likely to get robbed for their gun than CC or non-carriers.
Don't know about the whole population, but as someone who has known a bunch of people who would stick people up, at one point, they definitely would target open carries. They said it was almost a guaranteed minimum of 500 dollars right there, a nice handgun could easily get 1000-1500, a really nice one could get a couple grand. So, yeah, people who do stick-ups target people who obviously have a gun on them. They said that if that person goes into a low population area, they are gonna get robbed. They will have their gun drawn, and ready to go, before the person is even aware of what is happening, so they are extremely unlikely to try and draw on them. If they do, they will almost definitely get shot before they can get their gun in a position to shoot.
People in America get shot for perfectly legitimate reasons, going shopping, going to school or calling the police for help. Not for reaching for their gun grip shaped phone that would be absurd.
Its only a matter of time till someone reaches for their "phone" and gets themselves shot.

Ya know what? I absolutely believe that, no evidence necessary.
Fuck that, citation needed.
It's hard to be robbed for your gun if you're not carrying one
That's not a peer reviewed study.

Well yeah, why would you try and rob someone of their gun if you don't think they have one?
I'm reminded of those classic movie gags where the guy has one "gun" that's actually a lighter, and keeps mixing it up with their actual gun.
Reminds me of the start of an episode of My Name Is Earl:

What if they don't live in America?
Less likely but still possible.
Id say Australian police would probably not shoot if they saw someone reaching for it but I wouldnt bet on it.
why would that not already have happened dozens of times
you've heard of america right

What the fuck is that trigger discipline.
I believe that's the quickest way to hang up on someone.
I believe it's this fancy new thing the Canadian army's been testing as an alternative to the nitrogen chambers....
It seems like a great way to get shot.
Any%
Death by cop Any%
Looks like somebody pulled the trigger and got a new phone.
Your dad would be proud of this dad joke.
See the cops up to no good? Use this convenient grip to whip your phone out and record them!
