When I was living near New Orleans, I was shooting a motor cycle group, in City Park, I became under attack by a local. It started with a rant, and quickly escalated to the guy grabbing for my camera, and finally with shove. I was 68 at the time, and the guy was likely mid 40s, much stronger than I. He picked up my camera that was about to hit me with it. I had enough and drew my pistol while still on the ground. He tried to jerk my camera off me with a strong tug, but was unsuccessful. One of the people with me called the police. Both of the cops arrived in minutes on bicycles. He was arrested, and removed from City Park. I was happy my camera strap held up. The police checked my concealed carry permit, and ID, returned everything, and wished me a nice day.

Thanks. Pretty soon, we'll need one of them to carry a camera.
