One hand may be busy or damaged. You might be trying to keep someones head above water or compressing the bleeding. One hand may have been hit by another bullet, or broken in a fall. There are many ugly situations


That is what you would probably consider if you were in an active War zone, Not going off to a Coin show

It is what you have to consider all the time. If the situation is bad enough that you have to draw your gun you can't tell what you might need to do to save your life. What if you need to deflect the mugger/rapist/murderer weapon away while you simultaneously draw and fire and you have only mili-seconds or you are shot or seriously wounded?

Is this another ANA 2014 show dealers hiring gangbangers to buy Gold Kennedy halves at the mint booth scandal?

Yes I own a gun or 10.

But your best bet is to stay out of high risk situations and stay off of the Northside.

If your job puts you at a constant high risk maybe you need to hire an armed bodyguard. We have at least 2 armed security at the doors at our clubs annual show and we only have 60 dealers. And they will happily walk anyone (dealer or collector) safely to their car. And the dealers pull up to the front door in front of the security to unload and load before and after the show.

Of course once you leave you are on your own but to shoot yourself on the bourse floor c'mon now Plaxico.

Ever been to an ANA or CSNS show. Stack Bowers and all of the big auction houses have multiple security watching over their cases which are at the same time manned by their employees.

It isn't worth the risk.

Does it matter if you are killed with a sword, spear, knife, club, fists or a gun?
I can outrun the sword, knife, club, and fists. A spear, maybe. But I definitely cannot outrun a bullet. So yes, it does matter.

People were killing people long before guns were invented.
True, but guns are way more efficient. See comment above.



It seems like it may be time to move this to General Discussion, but I will give everyone one last chance to put the focus back on this news item and not guns in general.
