    A few things that came up:

     

    Keeing Yourself Safe and Defended at Your Open House

     

    Brink's background

     

    CA's story about being robbed at Babys 'r Us

     

    You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your training

     

    Bad guys *look* for a victim

     

    Corporate buildings can be massive targets

     

    Criminals specifically target affluent communities

     

    There's a fine line between being prepared and being paranoid

     

    How to defend your open house

     

    Criminal's worst fear is getting caught

     

    Don't lead the client, direct them in front of you

     

    Every exterior door and window needs to be unlocked for egress

     

    Fine vs. gross motor skills

     

    Turn lights on

     

    Let neighbors know you're doing a showing

     

    Drive the neighborhood and take note of fences, escape routes

     

    DON'T park in driveways

     

    We tend to override instinct...don't ignore it

     

    Book: "The Gift of Fear"

     

    People don't want to be rude when instincts tell us to beware

     

    The more good guys with guns we have, the safer we'll be

     

    If you're going to carry, TRAIN with it!

     

    You can also use a spray of sorts, "PHREEZE PLUS P"

     

    Your goal is not to defeat them....it's to GET AWAY
