Got robbed yesterday on a delivery

[OhNoYaDont]

This has been argued many times, and in many forums. It IS a personal decision: we all get to decide if we are victims or not. Some people actually like being victims.

When someone points a gun at me - no matter where I am - I assume that I am in danger of being killed. My decision is to take the decision of my life and death away from the person assaulting me. That's me. Your decision is that your life is not "worth killing for". Up to you - you know the value of your life better than I do.

I hope that I never have to defend myself to that extent. I would never use deadly force to protect property - it is illegal in California and (I believe) morally wrong. You're right - I can grow more. But, I can't grow another life - that is irreversable.

first thing you do now is get your concealed weapons license. personally i suggest a .45 or a .357. you want something big enough to fuck em off if they get stupid, and intimidating enough so that as soon as you pull it they bail. keeps you from wasting shots that way, ya dig? second, ALWAYS run at least 10 deep doing big deliveries. anything over a LB. and go in at least 2 cars and keep spaced out so they can back you if you do get blocked up. as far as the meeting place, choose a place that's public enough to keep anyone from doing anything rude or stupid, but is private enough for you to get away with the swap. and i know its common sense, but not everyone has it, so ima post this in case some one else that doesn't know can see it. DO NOT DEAL WITH PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW OR DON'T THINK YOU CAN TAKE IN A CONFRONTATION. im just saying here... :smokin:

our local sherrif recomends we carry on all deliverys, we live in an open carry state so no ccp is required. each grow room is stocked with a fire-arm in plain site, our dispensary is also staged with tazers and .44's. come if ya like but remain civil, respectful and dont forget, we have the right to defend ourselves and we will exercise our rights..

you need to think about this. if there criminal enough to pull a gun on you and steal your pot why would they let you live to hunt them down. statistics show that 25% of all roberies involving a gun and drugs legal or illeagle the victum is shot even when he/she co-operates and in some comuntities its even higher and remember mmj at best is a grey area so self preservation is more important then the thugs trying to get you. i have been ripped of a crop thank God i was not at the site so i didnt have to make the choise to shoot or not(i would have) but im glad i didn't have to make that choise.

First off, Nothing is done at night! Much too easy for somebody to hide
in the bushes.
Second, Always meet in a VERY public place, I kind of lean towards McDonalds or some such, because you can arrive a little early, have a cup of coffee and scope out the surroundings. Also there are Always people around, which is a big plus.
I Insist that only one peason is to show up for the transaction. If I see more than one pearson, or it looks like there are some others who are a little too interested in me or my customer, then I'm gone.
The best way is to only deal with people you know, although that is not always possible
Check ID and MJM credintials away from your vehicle,. Only when you are convinced that they are verified, and that the surroundings look good and nobody else is interested in you, then go ahead. In this case, paranoia is a virtue.
So very sorry for your misfortune. There are evil people out there.

Remember: Even the Paranoids are right sometimes.

It works for me.

Have any of you..." I have a concelled weapons permit"... people ever had to pull your gun and actually fire at someone whos firing a weapon at you:wtf:

If your not cool under preasure..youll probably end up shooting yourself while trying to quickly remove the weapon from its holster...then youll be lucky to hit what your shooting/aiming at:wtf:

Miltary personal & Police officers who train for this type of action find this out:hippy:

I dont care if you have a gun on your person.... if someone has the drop on you... good luck getting yours out before he gets a few rounds off in your direction...hopefully hes not a good shot

If your getting ripped off.... your not conducting yourself in a professional manner ....you must be dealing with crimianl elements...making risky deals with people you dont know
