Those things aren't bank vaults. Easier to cut the case open at leisure in another location.

Next one will be bolted to the floor.

I've got lots or martial arts training as well. The gun is for when that doesn't work, or is not appropriate. All of the weapons you mention are lethal. They are not any less dangerous than a firearm.

The only two reasons my gun was stolen are 1. A criminal was being a criminal, and 2. I was doing what people like you wanted me to. I can assure you I'll take better precautions in the future.

And yes, I've seen bar fights. I usually help break them up (at the bar above) or help stay out of the way for the bouncers. What's your point there? I never drink when I am armed.
