It was shown some twenty-five years ago, by Cohen and Gautreau, that a black hole could not be over-charged to the extent of converting it to a naked singularity. The much more recent work of Hubeny disputed that finding, claiming it to indeed be possible. While recognizing it to be mathematically possible to do so, we have examined the key issue of whether or not it is physically realistic to achieve an over-charging by means of ultra high-energy proton bombardment. Our findings show that even the most energetic astrophysical protons known, namely those having energy approaching the ZeV range, are not nearly capable of destroying a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole.
