He or she did not seem to say that. We need to respect the police and count on them to do their jobs well. If a situation arises in which you can save lives by taking one then more power to you. But I have lived in the Villages for more than twenty years and those have never happened that I can recall. There was a mess last year maybe but I am still very unclear about what happened on that night. There have been instances of SWAT being called because a Villager or a relative or in law of some kind had a mental breakdown. Guy in his house barricading himself with his guns.


The Villages does seem safe but it seems to be more related to all the guns in homes and security measures here in the Villages. Not so much concealed carrying.
