[QUOTE="clembo, post: 389583, member: 8033"]Well of course you do rzage but shops tend to have a LOT more than the average collector. Like by millions in many cases. Still, we invite people in to peruse as it is a business. I used to run a truck stop in Gary man. I've seen my share of unsavory people believe me. Insurance is great but not too effective if someone has a gun to your head. I'm just pointing out legit concerns as a person that actually works in a shop. I think all of my other posts pretty much make that known. Now Vess1, We have guns scattered about the shop. I stated in an earlier post the only time I WOULD consider picking one up. Yes, it's your safety as well unless I miss and maybe kill you or someone on the street. Keeping your eyes open is the first step. I have done repos on the south side of Chicago, Chicago Heights, and lovely Gary, IN to name a few without a weapon. Did if for five years dude. Never got shot at. Never got beaten up. Got threatened a few times. We all have a right to own guns and I have no problem with that. People that turn in their handguns in Chicago are just asking for it IMHO. THEN only the criminals have them. However, everyone arming to the teeth is not a solution either. Too many, like myself, that are not trained nor qualitified. All I'm going to say as this thread now really belongs in the PRWE.[/QUOTE]
