I have not seen any violence in the 3 years I have been in The Villages from anyone. Ridiculous to carry a pistol in The Villages.

Well there was the Tea Party cheerleader here in the Villages who heard a noise in her house and proceeded to get her loaded pistol out of her nightstand and then shot the vacuum cleaner. I guess it had moved in the middle of the night as something leaning against a wall sometimes does.
In the seven years I have been in the Villages, there have been a couple of shootings usually involving domestic violence of some kind. Or, at least, domestic disputes involving a son ****ed off at a man wooing his mother as well as a retired law enforcement officer who got into a dispute with his wife which turned violent.

There have been a few suicides too with firearms of various kinds. Notably that of Melinda Duckett which happened here in the Villages back in 2006.
