I wouldn't ascribe to that course of reasoning if I were you.

On the one hand, most everyone is voicing concern (as the OCSD has so kindly confirmed) that a criminal would attack when he knows you are UNARMED. Now, you are saying that a criminal would attack when he knows you may be ARMED (because you may be carrying cash). Those are contradictory ideas. IMO, a criminal who is after your cash during the performance of your profession would be much less likely to attack knowing you are probably armed. If he doesn't know you are "taking a day off", then he also doesn't know you are unarmed, and if he did, he would know you probably aren't carrying the cash and wouldn't attack anyway. So, please, keep it simple.
