How can you increase your likelihood of surviving a robbery? (lemmy.ml)

I have some valuables in my home but nothing worth risking my life over. Likewise if I was walking down the street and robbed at gunpoint or driving in my car.

What I can I, in the situation of being subject to an armed robbery, do to increase my chances of not getting killed?

Well robberies are very rare. No one says they they thwarted a mugging last week, plus really dangerous places are like a few blocks big, so you could just walk or drive around the worst of the worst.

If you robbed in your house, I'd just say lock whatever door your in and call the cops, robberies tend to be quick so they'll go after what's easy.

If you're mugged is suggest looking your mugger in the face, talking casually, or comply with their demands.
