A land agent typically isn’t the first career field that comes to mind when you think of the world’s most dangerous jobs. Most of the time it’s a pretty safe, fun and often envied industry to be in. Sadly, in today’s world, there are inherent dangers and risks involved in regular real estate activities.
As a land agent, you are responsible for showing property to people all day, every day. You’re often alone in very remote, rural areas. This can be especially scary given the fact that you don’t always know who you are meeting.
Having a firearm on your side doesn’t mean that you are going to need it, but if you do find yourself in a situation that requires that you protect yourself, it can mean the difference between life or death.

Absolutely, agents should carry a firearm.
ABSOLUTELY YES!
Most states allready allow concealed carry. If it is concealed it is not a threat or intimidating to anyone. It is always a personal choice whether to carry or not but it is also always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
