Interestingly, the prohibition against concealed carry in an alcohol dispensing establishment does not apply to current and qualified retired law enforcement officers who are carrying under the provisions of the federal Law Enforcement Officer's Safety Act (LEOSA). There are several hundred qualified carriers in The Villages.

Unfortunately, the owner of the business has the authority to exclude them, and many do. File that under "Stupid."
