My take on escort protection/security:

[Mocha]

I want to try and keep this separate from a previously closed thread, but I sure would have liked to give my input before it was. I don’t feel the responses were necessarily helpful in the other thread, so I figure I would come back with a little more facts and reason.

 

I personally don’t think it’s best for someone, anyone, to have their “protection” in an accessible location. The story could have been flipped if the person in question used the “protection” against the person it was supposed to be protecting..and it would have been a different story. Or, who’s to say one would exercise caution in the event of an “uncomfortable” but not necessarily “dangerous” situation?

 

I personally am just not with guns, and there’s few occupations that really require one. Plus, if someone does fire off at someone...who’s to say they could prove self-defense? And if that client has a family/partner and the escort doesn’t, it’s easy to tell who the jury would mostly side with.

 

I also feel guns are a false sense of safety. If someone really wanted to do something, they could fire off soon as the person opens the door. Unless the escort is answering the door guns drawn, what are they going to do? And like I said, if you leave it within reach to someone...who’s to say that person won’t overpower you and use it to their advantage?

 

I say this because I’ve been in a handful of dangerous situation over the years (not necessarily escort related either). In all circumstances, there were far better ways of keeping safe (and keeping my belongings) than having a gun. I wouldn’t even want to carry a gun, because I may be tempted to fire off, and I come from the state of 10, 20, Life (though I don’t know what it is now with the whole stand your ground BS that they came out with).
