Theft at Philly show
FromVAtoLA- You, sir, hit the nail on the head. Once again, a determined
minority of attention-starved posters deliberately derailed the thread. It is common on this board, sadly enough... Adam/Exhibitman- Thanks for your rational reply, amazing what happens when a couple people manage to stay on a directly stated point. For the record, I am very well aware that most folks can't hit the broad side of a barn under pressure. I have not, am not, and will not advocate for a card show to look like a GTA mission. I'd much prefer that show promoters announce the presence of uniformed or plain clothes LE at shows, that entering folks see a camera at the only entry point, and that sellers and customers alike take active steps to minimize chances for thieves to act. Maybe an observant thief notices a concealed carry bulge under a dealer's shirt and decides to try his luck elsewhere as well- no harm at all in that. I don't have Eastwood style fantasies about guns at shows, my vision is much more docile than that- every party taking a role to make it hard on the thieves who should be the focus of this thread, for example. If some sellers opt to conceal a weapon for safety there's no need for Constitutional Law class beforehand- it's up to that person to know what he's about. Judging by the utter absence of news about dealers/buyers cranking rounds off at shows because someone made off with their cards, I'd say most people already grasp this concept. NotSmart- I've attended shows since 1981 and greatly enjoyed myself at practically all of them. No cards stolen, zero shots fired. I notice you still haven't contributed to the actual thread. Good luck with 1911 as an ally. Such an..."interesting" choice. Trent King
