You're probably right, because a running coyote is hard to hit. Even with a rifle. But, I doubt you need worry about a person pulling out a pistol and start shooting at it. Anyone that has a legal permit to carry, has also passed a gun safety course. Have you heard of anyone else shooting up the Villages? How many permits do you think are currently in possession in The Villages? No need to panic. In my case, if I see a coyote, I doubt I would even react unless it attacked me or my pet. When it comes to wildlife, I believe in live and let live as long as it doesn't create a problem. So, protect your pets with a stick, spray or kick the predator if you wish(good luck on that). Whatever makes you feel confident. I'm sure that if you feel that we are being over run by them, animal control would trap and move them to another location. Just a guess.
