<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2120821, member: 26302"]I agree. Even those of us who know we can pull the trigger in the face of danger are not immune, since you have to be there with a gun nearby in order to do so. Those who like to say, "protected by Smith and Wesson" are fooling themselves, since most likely you would never have a chance to pull a trigger to defend them. Thieves are sneaky little bastards, one of the things I hate about them.</p><p> </p><p>As for someone holding your family hostage while accompanying you to the bank, it sounds good in movies. In reality, though, its way too risky for most thieves to wish to attempt. All it takes is the bankers to be made aware of it, call the cops, and then the accomplice is captured and the robbers are surrounded at your home. Robbers want quick, clean, and risk free thieving. I have never heard of this done in real life, and certainly would not be done for the amount of money most of us would have in the SDB. If someone knew there was $5 million in the SDB maybe, but I will never be in that position.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
