Does Crime Pay?<\/h4>\nPolite society likes to ignore some simple facts associated with crime. Take this one for example; We are raised hearing the mantra that \"crime doesn\u2019t pay.\" Wrong. Crime does pay. It pays pretty well too.\n\nSome might say it\u2019s one of the best-kept secrets in personal finance, except it\u2019s not a secret. It\u2019s just a fact that makes a lot of folks uncomfortable, so they pretend it\u2019s not true. So what\u2019s my point? Don't worry, I\u2019m not suggesting you quit your day job and go knock off a liquor store.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&limit=1&orderby=random']\n

Here's The Real Lesson<\/h4>\n
\n\t<\/div>\nIf every criminal got caught the first or even second time they committed a crime, we would very quickly have them all locked up! The reality is that only the bad or unlucky criminals get caught and locked up, and many of those that do get locked up use prison as a place to hone their skills.\n\nOnce they're back on the street, they are even more skilled. That means that if you are targeted by a criminal you must assume you're going up against a pro. You are more than likely NOT their first victim. They have a plan, they know how to get what they want, and they even know how to get away with it.\n

They Feed On Our Fear<\/h4>\nFrankly, they're used to winning. Most people shrink when faced with a hardened criminal (or any criminal for that matter). Fearing for their safety, they nervously give the criminal what they want. Criminals thrive off the fear of violence. Violence is their business and they know it pretty well.\n\nIf you are reading this then this probably isn't new information, but it\u2019s easy (even for those of us who aren\u2019t na\u00efve about crime) to get lulled into a false sense of security. The completely na\u00efve think that they are pretty much safe all the time.\n

Overconfidence Can Work Against You<\/h4>\nOthers think that because they are aware of crime and have thought about what they would do (maybe they even carry a self-defense weapon<\/a>) that they are prepared. I\u2019m not here to pass judgment on anyone, but there is a fine line between confidence and a dangerous level of over-confidence.\n\nRemember, many criminals are very good at what they do. You need to train to survive a confrontation with a pro<\/a>, not a beginner. You have to train to beat the best, so take your defensive training seriously.\n

Ask Yourself This<\/h4>\nIf you carry a weapon, when was the last time you trained in drawing and deploying it<\/a>? Weapon or not, when was the last time you threw a few punches<\/a>? Do you know how to transition from a weapon to bare hands in case of a malfunction (for firearms) or loss of control of an edged or blunt-force weapon?\n\nEven masters have to go through the motions to keep their skills sharp, so set aside some time each week to practice. Keep your skills sharp, because when it hits the fan you never really know what you're going up against. You could be facing anything from a rookie who's all talk or a seasoned pro, and you definitely do NOT<\/strong> want to find out which you are facing the hard way.\n
