“A good loud bark obviates the need for most biting.”
“For you and who else?”
“Huh…?” And this is maybe why you should never let me cover your buyers.
“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.”
We stopped looking that day and I sent her to Shooter’s World off of Indian School Road – still there – 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.
As it turns out, real estate is kids and dogs – and, when necessary, guns. I love the idea of more women becoming armed, but, unless they are like Cathleen’s client – dangerous men when it matters – many of those women will lose their guns to felons, perhaps thereby becoming felons themselves.
The ideal woman is Yael – 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 – her husband, her father, her brothers, her sons – has already failed her.
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.
