packing?

[mcrowder]

Good god, I hope not. Let me give you a real life example of how this can escalate.

Working as a manager at a pizza delivery place in the late 80s. One of our drivers was the victim of an attempted robbery (of about $30 bucks, tops), and pulled something he was "packing" out of his car. Robber ran away, my driver got a good look and a license plate.

Two days later, another attempted robbery - this time a different driver. Unfortunately, said robber had learned his lesson, and instead of just robbing my driver, he shot my driver first, took the money after.

Driver survived ... and got a look at the assailant - same guy, same car.

Think about this from an umpire perspective. You feel threatened and unpack something. Said fan leaves, but next time decides to pack something himself. You want to be the cause of a fellow blue being killed?
