The method was as some have noted here; strap around the neck and camera unpside down and lens toward the chest. The worse that ever happened is one or maybe two lost rolls of the new film. As for the Leica as weapon, Paris in 1968: As noted earlier a Leica on the end of a strap being whirled above the head keeps people away. A year or so later in San Francisco trying to keep in front of some marches brought me close to some people who seemed to think I was some sort of FBI guy shooting the marchers. It helped a couple of times. Though god knows what they thought, I was going to shoot 20,000 plus people, individually? Ah! Well, different times and different people.
