I see no reason to interrupt an innocuous remark regarding "handguns" as some hidden message that TV is not a safe place to retire.

The only assumption that I made regarding Vinny's question is that he is a law abiding citizen who is going to make those around him a good neighbor.

There are some who feel (well intentioned I'm sure) they must "defend" TV even when there is nothing to defend. TV speaks well for itself. It is a lovely retirement community and is "right" for some, yet "wrong" for others.

As far as the comments hurled at those who post on the "Political Forum," I find that one must "thread" more lightly on the "General Discussion Forum" because they tend to become a bit more volatile than others especially when any subject is controversial.

You are absolutely right. My brother-in-law asked me so I asked the forum. Unfortunately guns are a hot button topic. At least I learned a lot about who carries and who does not and different views on the subject. I never felt that words could hurt me or whist other people think of me. I am an island unto myself in this regard.

Now I can report back to NJ whose homes to stay away from. :-).
