Vinny, nowhere have I said guns should be banned. I have said it is ridiculous to carry a concealed gun in The Villages. I have also said that the only gun crimes I know about in 2.5 years in The Villages have been committed by people with concealed gun licenses or at a private home where a gun was kept by the owner. There was also a suicide by gunshot and I assume it was a gun kept in the home.
Vinny, in an earlier post you had stated "... yet have to put up with drunks at the Town Squares whenever I go there at night." I do not know to what extent you "have to put up with drunks" and in your last post you had toned it down to seeing at least one drunk person at the Town Squares. Big difference between the sound of the two situations. Your first one makes it sound as though this is Spring Break at South Padre Island and the second sounds like Uncle Henry at the family reunion. Sure, there will a a few people who are tipsy. I have never seen a falling down drunk in The Villages - although I am sure it has happened. Neither here nor there about guns, though, unless the tipsy person has a gun!
If a person wants a gun in their own home - that is fine with me. If they are licensed to carry a concealed gun - that is fine with me as long as they do not display it in my presence or carry it in a prohibited place - but I think it is ridiculous to carry in The Villages.
No problem with Figmo or RichieLion poking a little fun with their signs. I know it is in the spirit of fun.
