Hats off to the owner who not only foiled the robbery attempt, but also isn't scared to do business in a not so ideal location.

For anyone is isn't familiar with Indiana; Hammond is right between East Chicago and Gary, Indiana. I'm sure you've heard of those 2 places.
Definitely a dangerous area. It's one of those areas where you're driving down the highway and you have to go to the bathroom, you hold it for 20 more miles.
Glad the shop owner was prepared.

To the gun control activists: did the guns rob the shop, or did the dim-witted idiots that probably illegally obtained the guns rob the shop?

This is the rare thread in this forum that has made me smile. Good for the good guys. Usually it's some innocent coin shop owner getting a bullet, glad it was different this time. I hope some bad guys are leaking.

My hometown!  Right across from an elementary school.  By the way, my first two Dansco albums were bought just over thirty-one years ago in Hammond. |

Holy 2nd ammendment. Thank god for the right to bare arms! I was just in a local lcs yesterday, I help him with vams and varities when he gets large collections in, and the owner was cleaning his colt 1911. I told him a he should also get a tactical shotgun and hang it in full display close to his desk to use if needed but also as a sign that says don't mess with me, which he agreed. Don't know if I wanna show him that article though Guns and insurance are a must in today's coin & pm world! |

Cripes! I know the shop owner (thought he was a better shot) and am embarrassed to admit I even read the Hammond Times but their site force fed my computer 78 cookies before I gave up and blew it away so I still know none of the details.
Hammond isn't really that bad until you get to the north side of town. Even there most business areas are safe enough. Most of East Chicago is OK but stay out of Gary at night and don't go there at all unless you have business. J&J Coins is SW Hammond.
Mebbe they'll be moving south after this.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Glad the owner is okay but it's upsetting news all the same.
