25 percent of men and 12 percent of women

Well THOSE numbers certainly need to be reversed - and then improved upon.

I can't imagine a male real estate agent being a target...

This guy in Toronto could have used a gun. Or some muscle from his mafia family:

actually, male agents are frequently targets

but i do agree that the female agents need to carry a lot more than the survey claims

i think the reported numbers are very low, at least in major urban areas. possibly in more civilized, safer smaller towns it is not necessary to carry

in NY, ChiTown, Atlanta, St Louis, Philly, San Fransicko, LA...and so on....you can BET almost very realty agent is carrying!!!!!!!
whether they report it in a survey or not

I can.
