Let's start with your false premise that "businesses don't have their own defense forces". Have you never heard of the security/loss-prevention departments that exist within most companies? You then committed a deductive fallacy by stating that a lack of protection from thieves leads to shootouts between competitors. Why do you equate competition with theft? Tradition and market forces drive business etiquette, not the threat of State violence. ---Sasan
