Theft at Philly show
G1911- The weapon issue has 3 components:
1) An individual carrier may feel safer while carrying. 2) Carrying a weapon to react to a robbery- NOT a theft- is certainly plausible. Guys who follow a dealer or collector to their homes have moved past theft, and into territory where a carrier could articulate the use of a weapon for defense. 3) Again, the mere presence of a weapon might well persuade a bad guy to try someone else. "An armed society is a polite society". To be clear enough that even you will have a hard time twisting it, I am not remotely suggesting that weapon possession is the primary deterrent at shows. I have never thought to myself that I may need to protect my life at a sports card show, and hope I never will. The weapon carry conversation is one aspect of a wide range of precautionary measures which, if undertaken diligently and consistently, would often prevent more drastic measures. I'm well aware you think quite highly of your knowledge base, but I'm very, very confident on this issue. We should all be on the same team here, I can't imagine anyone thinking that continued high dollar theft/robbery at shows we attend, is something to ignore or pass to others as "their problem, not mine".
