That's why if you honestly feel that the attacker has no other interest but your wallet, it is the best choice to just give it to him. You can always replace your drivers license, your money and your credit cards. You can't always replace your health or your life.
If, however, you seriously believe that he may hurt or kill you, you have little to lose by resisting. You act compliant and reach for your wallet. When you instead pull your concealed weapon you shoot without hesitation.
You can successfully use a concealed firearm against a mugger. It is however a last choice in my opinion.
