No, the clearest question would be:
"Do you believe that, of the thousands of different professions practiced in the U.S., real-estate agents should be DENIED their Constitutional right to bear arms? And if so: Why them and not, say, pastry chefs, kindergarten teachers, or ballet dancers?"
Regards,
I’ve been in the business 11 years and remember 3 murders. 3 too many.
My realtor? Most people’s interactions with a realtor are far and few in between.
Realtor’s however deal with people on a daily basis in god who knows where out of the way locations. Female realtor’s who have their face out there are particularly at risk. If a realtor cannot afford a body guard, they should learn how to use a gun and keep it on their person at ALL Times.
I wouldn’t think that.
I had a major run in that I stopped from going any further with information about myself. It was in a very pricey part of town in a very expensive home.
I carry now.
I have a great real estate agent, if I found out she wasn’t carrying, I’d buy her a pistol as a gift for doing a good job.
Yes, Realtors and Pizza delivery persons too.
I could never understand why more realtors don’t carry guns. They seem to be in very vulnerable situations in their normal business day.....
If I were a realtor, and especially a woman, I would certainly be armed.
I thought it was a fear of old western shows.
Or just that she’s smart and doesn’t want to end up like this:

“At first I thought it was a fear of the Hops in Beer.
I believe that is Samadamsophobia. “
Then what is fear of Samadams called?
Why would it matter to me one way or the other? The only question here would be is the realtor doing a good job finding me a home or not..
In New Jersey you have to "prove a need" to have a carry permit approved. Unless you are "connected" the proof is never enough.
In my nearly thirty years in real estate I have accompanied women co-workers a number of times, who had set appointments to meet men at vacant properties but then got a bad feeling about it. Only one time did we get that "What's HE doing with you" look from the prospect.
True story - I was looking for a house or cabin to purchase to roll over funds I had from selling some land. The realtor and I are in a nice A-frame overlooking a lake in Idaho when I noticed that there were some sleeping bags in the living room and some gear in the kitchen. Guy turns to me and says, “Are you carrying?” “No,” I said, “why?” “Because this place is supposed to be empty and I think that’s a meth lab,” he replied. “Let’s get the hell out of here.” From then on I carried. I believe he did as well.
Equinalurinophobia?
So Equinalurinophobia is NOT a fear of horses encountered during a full moon? Okay.
I think all citizens who pass govt. scrutiny should be able to carry Guns.
I had an REO management business fir a few years and I can tell you there is nothing like walking into a “locked” property and have some vagrant running out the back door.
Happened more than once but, the 1st was all it took for me to always carry into a property and clear it before commencing with work.
Realtors run the same risk I assessed I was running when entering an empty house and should carry.
