[QUOTE]Originally posted by DEAvendetta: [QB] [QUOTE][b] JeffKardde said... You mean the house you deliver to, the people will rob you? Yeah, that'd be real smart. You'd have to be insane to rob a delivery driver at your own home.[/QUOTE][/b] If you were confused by my post then I'll clarify... Taking chances for the delivery person going anywhere that the actual people receiving the pizza, may have firearms to protect their homes. [QUOTE][b]Robberies of delivery drivers are non-existent during day hours. Most robbers (when they strike), prefer to do such things at night. Most deliveries are in residential areas, so doing it during the day would draw to much attention and possibly too many witnesses. Therefore, they rob at dark. And how many people fit the description of "maybe a 6 foot tall black male?" or "he was latino, I think, I couldn't see how high he was." It's not like we've got night-vision, people. Identification is going to be hard to make 'cuz we're never going to see them.[/QUOTE][/b] I don't see the point your making since I was talking about evening hour robberies anyway. I also fail to see why your using minorities to back up your point. Either way there is no difference, if you have a face to describe, you have at least something to go on. Fact is though most criminals won'r be found in a night situation. [QUOTE][b]Now, did he walk into the store and rob it? Or did he rob several different drivers? If he walked into the store, well, it happens, to everyone. It seems everybody cooperated, and no one got hurt. Also, he wore a mask, wasn't identified, and didn't kill anyone, now did he?[/QUOTE][/b] A little of both actually. The criminal caught the delivery fellow going back into the closed restaurant after the final delivery - That's how he gained access. No one got hurt, but they easily could have been with a criminal pointing a .357 at them the whole time. Many criminals would have shot them for being scared if they didn't actually have a mask to be cruel. Other criminals would have shot them to fell the power of a gun, or somesuch. [QUOTE][b]Why would you? If he robbed a driver, it was more than likely a setup. He picked to rob a driver because he knew the guy would carry money. If he robbed the store, then the same thing. I doubt it was a spur of the moment robbery, and therefore, he wouldn't be out for some random guy walking around.[/QUOTE][/b] I would because we close out business day at 10PM. That means we have a load of money in the safe. If a criminal wants that money, fine... He's not going to hurt me or any of my people to get it though. [QUOTE][b]Shit, man, I could be killed for my money as I walk out my apartment door. It doesn't mean I feel the need to carry a gun. And yes, we are preventing robberies by taking precautions. We don't carry large amounts of money, doing that makes us non-desireable targets for a robber. We often call people's homes before we deliver to ensure that they are in fact home, and often, ask them to come to the door and watch us walk to the house and then back to the car. Etcetra, etcetra. I completely disagree with you on this point, but I suppose you feel the only precautions that should be taken are a 9mm round? Sorry, bud, I'm not going to kill someone over a few bucks and a pizza.[/QUOTE][/b] To each there own. I personally wouldn't kill anyone for a pizza an $20 either. Like I said though, I'd rather have a chance in protecting my life. I'm not talking about automatic weapons, or militia crap. If you ever had to really deal with someone threatening you with a knife though, I'd advise you to have a firearm for backup... Just in case? [QUOTE][b]I didn't say it was to be shamed.[/QUOTE][/b] No, but your entire argument is implying it. [QUOTE][b]If anything, when people feel so scared where they live that they can't walk outside without a firearm, perhaps they should consider that fear, and move to a safer area? Just a thought.[/QUOTE][/b] I actually live in a small town, and with little violence at all. I don't carry firearms because I'm scared, I carry them for personal protection - That being of myself, family and children. This area is fairly safe because most of the citizens do own firearms. I would prefer my area where most people carrying guns are licensed to own them instead of the many places criminals can get them on the street. [/QB][/QUOTE]
