Another important thing to remember if you’re ever in a mugging situation- never hand the wallet, diversion or real, to the mugger. Toss it on the ground a few feet away; far enough to put some distance between you, but not so far as to aggravate them (especially if they’re armed). Like that old email with the “Rules of Gunfights” said, distance is your friend!

Something I do is carry around an extra cell phone. For me, it’s my old cell phone.

If worst comes to worst, and I’m in a hostage situation, I can hand the aggressors one of two phones, I figure most people will not expect someone to have two phones on them at any given time. The old cell phone is off and fully charged at all times, and set to dead silent, so if I have to turn it on, there is no cheesy jingle or vibrate to make a noise.

By law, at least in the US, service providers have to let a 911 call go through, even if the phone does not have a plan.

Good idea for those who CC as well too. Not every situation needs to be defused by drawing and firing. I’ve defused two situations without having to draw. And if you think the person is a serious threat, it could act as the perfect diversion to put distance between you and the individual while drawing.

ive heard of this idea many moons ago, and its a solid idea. i use one of those micro wallets to save weight and space. i did think about using photo coppied money, but on second thoughts, it is a great way of storing back up real money!
