A portion of the article...
Not sure what a 6 inch rope is for... any idea?

Hetzler showed him the kitchen and living room area. Then, he asked to see the rooms upstairs.

“At that point, we got into the master bedroom and he pulled a knife out," she said.

Cornered in the master bedroom, Hetzler said the man laid out a knife and six-inch rope.

“He wanted me to take off my ring and go in the closet, and at that point, his intentions were deadly, in my opinion,” Hetzler said.

Fearing for her life, Hetzler drew her handgun that she is licensed to carry.

“As I drew my firearm, and he saw that I had that, he doused me with bear spray. At that point, I could not see. I could barely see. My skin was burning, my eyes were on fire and so I fired," she said.

Thanks.

This hits pretty close to home for me.

I am glad she was ok.

I think I posted before a study that real estate agents have a higher rate of carry than the general population. Oh, found this:

Wonder if any cold-cases will be associated/connected to this person as they look into his past. I find it highly unlikely this was his first time out.

The job description of a real estate agent is going into empty houses with strangers. The need for preparation is obvious.

Not knowing much of their profession outside of them helping buy/sell homes, I was surprised to learn that self-defense/carry courses fall in to their curriculum of continued education.

It's also prudent to note that most real estate agents are very easy to gather info on. Their websites show pictures of what they look like for instance.

I forwarded these articles to my wife who just got her real estate license. She's had an LTC for years but has always been lazy about keeping her gun with her. This gave her the kick in the pants she needed to start actively carrying.
