Part of protecting the client is mitigating their risk from multiple focal points, not only their physical protection but their financial interests as well as their reputation or image. <br /><br />Plaxico literally lost millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and endorsements over the next two or more years because he wanted to portray the image of tough guy, &quot;Look at me, I&#39;m carrying a gun.&quot; Well, not only was he carrying a gun illegally but he injured himself too. For a fraction of a fraction of what he lost in money he could have hired a professional, enjoyed his night at the club and been playing this Sunday. When will they learn?Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652521571288291748.post-30413635453506484502009-09-23T07:50:40.341-07:002009-09-23T07:50:40.341-07:00The Burress case is actually a lifestyle decision rather than someone concerned about self defense. The carrying of a firearm has become the status symbol of the thug generation and has gotten more than one celebrity in trouble. What amazes me is the investors (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.) have not seen fit to provide protection and guidance to these high profile cash cows. Catching the game winning touchdown pass in a Super Bowl did not put this guy in more danger. His high risk life style off the field choices did that. A trained protection specialist might have influenced his decisions however and perhaps saved him from himself.Jerry MacCauleynoreply@blogger.com
