I wrote the following as a comment to http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/06/19112-m1911-and-other-heirlooms.html, a blog I follow.
In the sport of Bullseye, a.k.a. Conventional Pistol, dozens of shooters stand side by side firing at targets. Each shooter trusts those on both sides to fire their weapons safely, make them safe when the time is up, and follow the four rules of gun safety at all times.
At a large match, on a table for all to see and consider, are the items each shooter has brought to sell or trade. Several thousand dollars worth of guns may be sitting on that table throughout the match.
And at each shooter's firing point, two or three more valuable handguns will be sitting there while everyone is 50 yards downrange looking carefully at and scoring the targets.
The thought of a gun going missing never crosses anyone's mind.
