My "costumers" are fine, and I personally never have cash on me, we are not discussing my personal experiences here.The statistics shows that realtors get killed every now and then - NAR is warning.Concealed carry is for feeling safe in unsafe situations, not to show off that you're armed.If you read whole topic, you might get why rehab, wholesaling, working in distressed areas is more dangerous than sitting on your couch and trying to sound smart
