We are very, very vulnerable-remember a terror attack happened in Orlando- 1 hour away

The Sumter County Sheriff has an office at Brownwood and I see patrols at Spanish Springs and Sumter Landing. A heavier police presence might be better as there are so many sidewalks and the like in all the Squares and streets around them but also many vehicles which could be used to counter against such an attack by a car or truck. Maybe the cops need to buy some Humvees to block potential attackers.
I think people looking out for another is the best recourse. If you see a neighbor or friend who is acting strangely find out what is going on with them carefully as not to further upset them.
And there are a lot of people carrying concealed weapons- retired police and military. These might be able to stop such an attacker. Be he/she doing this by vehicle, firearm or some kind of bomb.
