To my knowledge, the only home invasion that ever happened in The Villages was several years ago when a 19 year old was living at home and got mixed up with some drug dealers in Ocala. It was a drug deal gone bad and was not a random crime.

I actually feel pity for you and the fear you live in constantly. Your post tells me why you have a gun in your home but did not address my question of why is it necessary to carry a concealed weapon while in The Villages. Why do you feel that you have to be armed while out on a daily basis in The Villages? There has been no violent person on person crime on the streets that I know about. You certainly would not pull your gun on someone taking your golf bag from your cart.
It is his right to have protection. Did you know that the Japanese could have invaded our country and land on our shores? When asked why they didn't, the Japanese high command said that there was too many people in the USA that are armed. I often wonder if the citizens of Cambodia, where millions were killed or imprisoned when we deserted them when we pulled out, would have fared better if they were armed.

An armed society is a polite society.
