On: Ask HN: Have you done / plan to do any basic “prepping” (tinned food etc)

What makes you think that video-game-style shooting is going to deter the professionals that are attempting to seize your goods?

[alva → jrockway]

If I was raiding homes, I would prioritise those that aren't shooting back at me.

[gruez → alva]

Exactly. You don't need to run faster than a lion to escape it, you only need to run faster than the slowest of the group.

Professional, what?

What makes you think that you'll be up against these "professionals"?

[protomyth → jrockway]

A "professional" would pick the best risk to reward. Someone shooting at you increases the risk fairly heavily.
