    Sure, a couple pounds or something.

    5+ or 10+ and that’s their life on the line to protect. If they lose that, its over. Back to zero.

    For someone like that that would be their entire life savings/work gone in seconds. You lose that product and can’t serve you lose your clientele. Forever.

    Can’t buy groceries with no money. Your kids go hungry or miss school because you cant pay your car note and you get the cops at your door. Then you got some real problems.

    This is assuming of course that whoever robs you doesn’t also have a gun and uses it immediately and kill your ass.

    Depending on the situation, could be a lot more loss than you’re thinking.

    I think the dumbest part of this would be someone in that line of work inviting people in or having them show up to their house in the first place. Super fucking stupid. If someone knows you have something that makes a lot of money they will try and take it from you eventually.

    But idk I’m just some guy who watches crime shows.

      I think you’re onto something. There was an Active Self Protection video (channel recaps real life self-defense scenarios) today of a home invasion where the attackers definitely knew the place, and there were drugs in the open.

      Edit: totally forgot the cherry on top, there was a gun lying out when they came in, and one of the intruders grabbed it immediately.

      Don’t invite untrustworthy people into your home period (this is an extension of the 5th crack commandment), lock your doors and keep your gun in a holster.
