\"Ya

\u201cA good loud bark obviates the need for most\u00a0biting.\u201d<\/p><\/div>I was showing for Cathleen once, maybe 15 years ago, to a woman who was deeply paranoid about her ex-boyfriend. We were looking at gated, restricted-parking condos because she thought they would be most secure. She was particularly interested in a unit that had nearby access to the parking lot \u2013 easy in, easy out.<\/p>\n

“For you and who else?”<\/p>\n

“Huh…?” And this is maybe why you should never let me cover your buyers.<\/p>\n

“Your ex tailgates someone past that door and waits up the the stairs. He rushes your door when you come home and he’s in. There is no security here. You don’t need a condo. What you need is a gun.”<\/p>\n

We stopped looking that day and I sent her to Shooter’s World off of Indian School Road \u2013 still there \u2013 and she acquired a Glock and soon thereafter a concealed-carry permit. She bought a single-family home way out west, by the Aqua Fria River, but she also range-qualified in all sorts of ways and ended up teaching self-defense to women much like she had been.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, real estate is kids and dogs \u2013 and, when necessary, guns. I love the idea of more women becoming armed,<\/a> but, unless they are like Cathleen’s client \u2013 dangerous men<\/em> when it matters \u2013 many of those women will lose their guns to felons, perhaps thereby becoming felons themselves.<\/p>\n

The ideal woman is Yael \u2013 naturally nurturing, but instantly homicidal when that’s the only option. But Yael is married. She’s a fallback. A woman needs a firearm for self-defense when her first line of defense \u2013 her husband, her father, her brothers, her sons \u2013 has already failed her.<\/p>\n

Yael was a dangerous woman. A woman alone must either be a dangerous man, when only a dangerous man will do, or she will be a statistic.<\/p>\n
