<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2666625, member: 80121&quot;]I live in the Southwest, in the state of New Mexico. The nearest town is Albuquerque and there are 5 coin shops in that town. I know all the owners and fortunately for me, they are friendly and if business is slow, they&#039;ll sit and talk coins with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, my club is trying to get a dealer to move to a safer part of town. He has been robbed 5 times, and burglarized more times than I can count, the last time the robber pistol whipped him, knocked him down, and he landed next to where he had his gun stored. He grabbed the gun, fired one shot and there was a dead robber.</p><p><br /></p><p>After that, we really put the pressure on him to move, his shop is in an isolated little shopping center and he is at the back of it where his store can&#039;t be seen from the street. The stores near him are restaurants and shops that tend not to be open when he is. This last Wednesday, at approximately 2:00am a car drove right through the front of his shop and cleaned out everything that he hadn&#039;t locked up in his safe. He still will not move. Now Albuquerque is supposed to be a nice, friendly, safe place to live. Do I publicize that I&#039;m a coin collector? Only to a small select group of people who also are coin collectors. Do I keep any valuable coins at home where I can enjoy looking at them? Well, let&#039;s put it this way, I&#039;ve become on a first name basis with the people who work at the bank where I have a large safety deposit box. Do I have a concealed carry permit and carry a gun whenever I&#039;m moving my coins? I don&#039;t think I have to answer that question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
