I see absolutely not one reason to carry a gun in The Villages, unless you are paranoid, obsessive or are having a serotonin low. Now if that changes, (the safe atmosphere of The Villages,) I will change too.
I am grateful to be be able to say what I just did, I like all of the amendments to the Constitution....especially the First one...

Gracie: I am sorry to say but gun crimes are not just committed at "unsafe" locations. I am sure the families of those kids in Norway thought that the island their kids was on was perfectly safe. Same with McDonalds and other fast food places where mass murders have occurred. how about at the Columbine school? Same with outside a Safeway store in Arizona where Gabby Giffords was shot.. Same with the many murder cases I was involved in as a prosecutor and defense attorney.. several shot in their homes by young punk robbers, while handing out trick or treats, in their cars driving down the street, There is no such thing as a safe place.
I wish you were right that there are safe places. What about the couple who were shot in the Villages by their daughter's friend?
People do not have to be paranoid, obsessive or are having a serotonin low to want to be able to protect themselves. Police rarely are able to protect people... the fast majority of the time they arrive after the crime as been committed.
Many people in TV are armed.. you just do not know about it.. and I really really like you, but you made a mistake and should apologize to them.
I am not trying to hurt your feelings, but I sincerely think your logic is unfair to a lot of people, especially your statement about them being paranoid, obsessive,, or are having a serotonin low..
I do not believe you really meant that.
Did you?
