So when the other man with a bigger gun politely asked for his gun he politely handed it over.

An Oregon man openly carrying his brand new handgun was robbed of the firearm Saturday by another armed man.
Portland TV station KPTV reported that the 21-year-old victim, who had bought a semi-automatic .22-caliber handgun earlier in the day, was openly carrying the weapon down a street in Gresham, Ore. while talking to his cousin. The two men told investigators that another man approached them on their walk and asked for a cigarette.
Police said the group's conversation eventually turned to the victim's new gun. The man who asked for a cigarette allegedly pulled his own firearm from his waistband and said "I like your gun, give it to me," according to police.
KPTV reported that the man fled after the victim handed over his new purchase. The news station described the weapon the man used in the robbery as a black, possibly semi-automatic gun.
Open carry, it will save a lot of burglars the time and trouble of breaking into your house to take your gun away from you.

I agree, concealed carry makes much more sense

If the guy's cousin had a gun with him, he could have been the good guy with a gun that stops the bad guy who has a gun.
He could have blown a hole right through the robber's head to ensure that he would become a hero to the NRA.

Or the robber could have two got two guns instead of just one. Or, having the drop on both of them, he could have killed both.
The gun-nut fantasy does not match reality.
