I haven't seen any data one way or another just a thought.

Neither have I seem anything about a maximum carry age requirement. Sort of think it is the same for the driving requirement. (That's a joke.) Found a patch on the internet that sort of sums it up.
"Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you."
Once we reach a certain age, avoidance and deterrence will be come my way to live, just as I do now. Remember your first choice of self protection should be your cell phone and avoiding things that will put you or your in harms way.
BTW, there is a new club just getting started in The Villages, its called the Villages Straight Shooters. They meet on the third Thursday night, 6:30 PM, Sea Breeze Rec Center, that is tonight. The VSS has a website,

Also the VSSs will be offering classes on firearm safety and will be doing some shooting at a local range for any one that is interested in learning how of SAFELY handle a firearm. Come on out and visit with the VSS members and see if this is something that you would like to do. All Villagers are welcome.
