Also in Omaha several years ago, two goons entered a pawn shop with the intention of robbing it. One of the goons held a gun to the head of one of the co-owners. The other co-owner simply pulled a pistol from under the counter and opened fire.
It killed one of the goons and permanently paralyzed the other.
No charges were ever filed, but the shop closed about six months later from the trauma and memories of it.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out trying to rob a pawn shop with several hundred, or more, guns on hand is not a smart move.

I did call on a shop at 53rd and Ames. Kinda on the fringes, but I made good money out of the place.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
