Are you actually saying you are in fear for your life when walking in The Villages that you are going to need a pistol? I walk my dog on the streets after midnight and feel 100% safe. I feel 100% safe at the town squares. I honestly have never felt the need to carry a pistol in The Villages. It is your right to do so - if you have a permit and do not go into a bar - so go right ahead and do so. Personally, I think it is ridiculous, but that is your right to do so.
