They told us to stay inside, sheriff said to do anything we wanted. Would firing a weapon within the Villages be frowned upon in this situation? Makes you wonder.

Just thought I'd share this as we assumed that someone would be available for this type of situation. I guess not...
I am skeptical about the validity of this post. This isn't the time alligators wander. That is in the mating season in May-June. I imagine if one was found in the backyard that Community Watch would offer practical solutions on whom to call. Perhaps a fee would be involved to take it away.

I hope that next time the relatively new OP takes a picture so I won't challenge the truth of this post.
