To the gentleman who carrys his pistol in an ankle holster. That is the worst place to carry a firearm. Have you every tried to draw it in a hurry? There is no way to get your firearm out in an emergency without bending over, pulling your pants leg up and getting back up to a standing position. If you don't believe me, find a place that does force on force training and try to out draw anyone who carrys it in a holster or pocket. You will never win. But if you feel safe carrying that way it is your choice, but you really need to think about where your are carrying your protection.

An example: You open your door, you are faced with someone who pulls a knife and pushing their way into your home. Now what you have to do, is bend over, lift your pants leg and then try to get your gun out while they are stabbing or beating you. Ain't never gonna happen. An ankle holster is only a good place to carry a back up gun (BUG) when you can open carry.

I want to address some thought to the ladies who might be reading this thread. I encourage you to get your CCW. Not that you have to own a gun or even carry one. Criminals are not the sharpest knifes in the drawer, but they are also not stupid. They look at numbers and if the number of permits to ladies for CCW in Florida is high and the permits in another state are low, where do you think that they will go to commit their crimes against women. My wife will be getting her Florida permit shortly and she never carries. She likes to shoot, knows how to shoot and would protect herself in our home, but she does not feel she needs to carry in public, she has me. LOL

I am also willing to give a class to any group here in the Villages about Protection In The Home that does not include owning or using a firearm. There are lots of things that you can do, but might not have thought of to protect yourself in your home. I will also give the same class for those that own firearms if desired. I will offer my time and expertise for free. Just contact me, I would like to have at least 15 to 20 if not more for these classes.
