I believe in second amendment rights too, but some folks just love to boast about what macho men they are.
I am sure that many homeowners have guns and know how to use them and know when to use them and that makes me feel safe. I am a little concerned about people who appear eager to show off.
Common sense that is all, common sense. We are not in some nasty crime ridden place, Thank God. NOT YET.

Thanks, GC.
Best option in my book would be if you have a cell phone start talking pictures and send them somewhere save as soon as possible.
I still remember the gun toting woman I know who heard a noise in the middle of the night, pulled out her revolver from the night stand, and shot her vacuum cleaner. Probably made her dog happy as he would not have to hear the vacuum cleaner for a while.
In the ten and a little years I have been in the Villages, I only remember maybe one instance when armed intruders came into a Villagers' home and these were actually friends of their live-in daughter who got into drugs.
Maybe, there were others that I have forgotten.
In Palm Harbor, I used to house sit for a couple who told me to mind the garden as a couple of bank robbers had possible tossed their weapon into it after being corned on the roof next door. This was at night if I remember correctly and the police chopper had a very intense light on the house next door. The sirens had woke up my old house sitting clients. The neighbor hood they are in has two law enforcement officers a few doors down on one side and up a few on the other.
The nearby middle school was also on the look out for where the wayward pistol may have gone.
Never knew what happened to the weapon of the bank robbers.
