Longrider,
I said I think it is ridiculous to carry a concealed weapon in The Villages. I, personally, think that a handgun at home is stupid but you can do that if you want.
Do you live in The Villages? If so, please tell me how you and your family are helpless victims and how is it that you would live in fear? This is the safest community you can imagine. Women walk safely at 5 a.m. around the streets.
The only violent crime I have heard of in the past 2 years was a lady who shot her husband in the shower. Retired police officers, both of them. Pistol in the house. Opportunity reared it's head when the woman snapped.
Figmo thinks we are very potential targets when the government entitlements are suspended for the surrounding towns. Ladydoc talks about having handguns for shooting rattlesnakes in New Mexico. Both are NOT reasons for handguns but having one in your home is your problem - not mine.
My message is that it is totally ridiculous to carry a concealed pistol in The Villages. If you feel good about having one at home - go ahead. No reason at all for carrying one when out in public in The Villages.
