And They Ask Me Why I Carry?

By Linda Walker

  • Albuquerque, NM - 74 year old Garland Taylor slain while showing a $900,000 home to a well groomed, professionally dressed man.
  • McKinney, TX - Sarah Ann Walker stabbed 27 times while holding an open house at a new housing development. Her body was found on the kitchen floor by a couple house hunting.
  • St. Petersburg, FL - A neatly dressed man posing as a DEA agent attacks a real estate agent, taking her purse and car keys while threatening her with a gun that he will kill her.
  • DeKalb County, GA - Within an 11 day period, 3 female real estate agents report being robbed at gunpoint by a man and a woman.
  • Baltimore, MD - Maryland police warn Realtors of a man stalking female agents. One agent was assaulted during an open house when the stalker hit her over the head with an object. The agent was able to fend off her attacker, but police believe it was an intended sexual assault.

    It's September and that means that once again it's "Realtor Safety Month". The National Association of Realtors (NAR), the Ohio Association of Realtors (OAR) and every other regional Board of Realtors will once again hold their annual "Safety Seminar and Self Defense Tactics" classes and give tips on how to stay safe. Once again real estate agents will hear the benefits of carrying pepper spray. We will hear how to stomp on the top of your attackers foot causing the breakage of the tiny bones, while placing a well aimed knee to the attacker's groin area. We will be shown how to grab the arm of the attacker while it's wrapped around our throat, and gouge at the eyes of the attacker with our free hand. It all sounds wonderful...in theory.
