I've always lived on the sunny side of the street, more or less. There were a few shootings at a college apartment I lived in once, but those were parties that got out of hand. I'm thinking of moving into the city, so I can be closer to work. Crime is high, but I keep my nose clean and I'm quick on my feet so I'm not that worried. However, I do know muggings happen and guns are hard to run from. I try to almost never carry cash, but I figure a mugger would be disappointed if I handed him a wallet full of plastic. Is it wise to carry at least $20 so a potential mugger won't get angry and shoot me irrationally? Is $20 not enough?

keep a bag of poop in your wallet so when they steal it they'll return it because they know you need your poop wallet.

this is the kind of advice i'm looking for. if a guy has a knife, he's not getting my wallet or my butt. i can run like a motherfucker, unless he's a throwing knife champion he'll never hit me when i start to serpentine.

why dont you buy a gun and kill them OP. if you get your gunplay up to level 50 or so no way random muggers will get a shot in first. also, some of thosemuggers are real mean people who shoot or stab even if you did get them $20, food for thought.............

most muggers guns aren't even loaded OP, think about it for a fuckin second - if you could afford bullets you wouldnt need to mug someone

Actually you should do a sick disarm move and then shoot them with their own gun and then when they're down put a couple more rounds into them and then say "keep the change, pal" instead.

You'd have to get mugged like 30 times before this paid off compared to just giving them $20

Buy a trench coat, always have your hands in the pockets and act like you mean business. Walk around like you're on a mission and you're looking for your target. If somebody still has the balls to try to mug you, give them an icy stare right in the eyes and and say "You don't even know who the gently caress I am, do you?"

You must look like a real bitch if you are worried about getting mugged.

Here's a pro tip: youre at much higher risk of getting burgled than robbed. Buy renters insurance and don't leave valuables in your car
