Even when I don't carry my Leica I carry my gun." - ------------------------------------ Norm: When I carry my Leica, it represents a $3,000 to $5,000 investment (dpending on lens attached). If a theif ripped it out of my hands ran off with it (and if I had a gun and shot the theif), I would spend far more than $3,000 to $5,000 defending myself in court against the theif or the theif's heirs (whether I killed him or not). Living in a major US city, you can't always assume justice will prevail. If my life was threatened, that is another story entirely. But if is just a "snatch & grab," perhaps a good insurance policy and staying out of the high crime areas with your Leica is best. Just my opinion. Arturo
