I and my nephews(one got mugged in DC) never carry cash in the wallet to begin with; that goes on a money clip to be a 'throwdown' to the bandit(a little more than $5.00) so he doesn't get pissed. This saves you the trouble of re-documenting everything from your driver license to your credit cards and/or your social security card (which shouldn't be in the wallet to begin with) but often is. It won't be a knife but a Sat. night special to the gut...and don't have an expensive 'William-Henry Money' clip either, just a cheapo and $20.00+- so the bad guy doesn't get pissed and off ya' for spite. Von C rule # 3: Never count on yer drug-crazed mugger doing what your plan calls for him to do...'cause he won't! In his mind you're thoroughly expendable and his needs are not! I'm 62 with one .380 in the thigh(shattered) and I never make the same mistake twice. Don't learn from your mistakes, learn from others...mine; it saves ya' energy, pain and misery.

Fair enough.
That's why I say it depends on the situation I guess.
Actually understood that post. Achievement Unlocked.
