Re: Numismatic Liquidation?!
Why wouldn't the same gangs you fear storm Bullionvault? Their address is published and the "take" would be far greater than looking for targets for home invasion.
I think that everyone needs to consider how they intend to defend their family and home in these times.
A brief story: When I was putting myself through college at the University of Miami, in Miami, FL in the early 1980's, I waited tables 5 nights a week to pay tuition and assist my family with bills. I was a young strapping 19 year old that lived at home to keep expenses down. After a particularly late night shift, I slept in one morning, at about 10:30AM, I woke to the sound of breaking glass.
I stumbled up and went towards the noise. Two guys were breaking the panes of a glass paneled door at the back porch trying to reach through and unlock it to gain entry.
My father, a marksman and avid bird hunter, had raised his son to respect firearms and be able to use them.
Suffice to say, one of the guys tasted lead from a Browning 12 GA. while the other ran (only to be later caught by the police a few blocks away).
I can tell you that I lived in that house until I graduated and my parents remained there for another 5 years afterwards. There was never any problem after that day. Even the milkman was careful to leave milk in the most quiet manner with the bottles in perfect placement and alignment on our stoop.
Thieves attack what is weak. No thief, gets up in the morning wondering if they are a quicker draw then their target.
I know many here are gun advocates and have been more vocal about their weapons than myself. But I promise you, everyone of my neighbors knows that I carry a concealed weapon daily, and that my house would be a better one too pass than consider for a robbery.
Lastly, My brother-in-law is a Sergeant with a South Florida police dept. Due to attrition of officers and no budget to add to the force, a huge upsurge in violent crime and increased work load per officer, the current response time to a 911 call may be over 1 hour.
I asked him, "what if I call and tell the 911 operator that an intruder is in the house?" He said, "have you been shot or stabbed?" I said, "assume I have been shot" He said, "maybe we could get there in 45 minutes if we aren't already responding to similar calls that came in before yours."
It may come down to the three "G's"............guns, gold (numismatic or otherwise) and grub.
