On Monday I took the afternoon off of work and went to every pawn shop I know of in Lincoln and Grand Island and gave out business cards that I had made with model, serial, description, LPDs number, my number, etc. Most conveyed that they didnt need the card because they report purchases to the police. One got snotty with me and handed the card back and said "there is nothing we can do for you." I was getting tired of explaining that even if they dont purchase it, they could come across it, take a picture of the individual, and end up with $500 in their pocket. It was a pretty discouraging afternoon to say the least.
If anyone in the Lincoln/Omaha area has an effective means of distributing the business cards I would be happy to supply them. I live in Grand Island but travel to Lincoln quite a bit. Im going to see about setting up a flyer and pile of cards at the entrance to the gun show in Lincoln this weekend if they will let me.
