I always check for bulges before attempting thefts, myself.

Sometimes you have to look. Situational awareness and all that, know your surroundings.

A dealer could just wear one of these.

Default Theft at Philly show

PeterSpaeth and G1911-

You 2 just can't do it, can you? Can't stay on point and avoid hyperbole.
My nickname for you now is Hummingbird 1 and 2- you can call dibs on which
you prefer. By the way, keep ignoring the reality that the high dollar thefts
aren't stopping and that board members who attend shows, are expressing
concern and searching for answers. You 2 should start charging me rent for
the space I occupy in your little brains. I feel sorry for anyone luckless enough
to know you personally.

If anyone else would care to weigh in on the actual topic, I'd be refreshing.

Keep up the personal insults. Pathetic. One in every crowd I suppose; most of us here are able to disagree or even have pointed debates civilly and without going ad hominem.

Quoting your own words is not hyperbole, sir. There’s a gigantic gap between ignoring anecdotal theft increases and showing off guns at shows to intimidate people. It’s nobodies fault but yours but you said some incredibly stupid shit and proposed some nutball ideas that no sane person is going to agree with.
