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.
Greg, are you familiar with 42nd and Bedford in Omaha? About 20 years ago, I was an outside salesman for a private label auto parts company and worked Omaha two and a half days a week. One of our other salesmen set up an account at 42nd and Bedford and then expected me to call on the place.
I drove past it, and when I got back to civilization, I called the boss and told him, "If Tom wants to do business in that neighborhood, he can call on them himself. I wouldn't get out of my van without wearing a sidearm and if you think I'm kidding, drive past the place yourself".
I did call on a shop at 53rd and Ames. Kinda on the fringes, but I made good money out of the place.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
