It's funny. Years ago, I was completely against the raids by the vice squad. But now the clubs need to give up. For someone to lose their life whether it was an accident or not is unacceptable.

For someone to lose their life playing football is acceptable? To lose their life skydiving is acceptable? To lose their life flying a small private plan is ok? To lose their life scuba diving is ok?

There are risks to EVERYTHING we do. One death out of decades of playing makes it a nasty shock, not a reason to go post-9/11 insane.

You may make the decision regarding your own life and safety and play only in AC if that's your choice. Please don't make that choice on behalf of EVERYBODY. (Course your odds of getting killed driving to/from AC may actually be greater than the odds of getting killed from a poker robbery...but that's a topic for a different thread.)

You've taken what I've said out of context. My point is that the clubs have become riskier. Which is why I made the comment that every club I know has been robbed at gunpoint. The shutting down of clubs is now about public safety and not about gambling and rights to recreation. That's my point. I'm sorry if I've offended any club owner, but that's just my opinion.
