"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."
Those with permits do not "display" in anybody's presence.
Those with permits do not carry in prohibited places.
These comments exemplify lack of knowledge what the real permitted people know, do, don't do.
Just as police do not make a distinction of where to carry their weapon, folks with permits do not go through a process of well let me see I will be in TV so I can leave it home. Or I will be in Miami I better take it.
The old wives tales about people showing guns or taking them in places not allowed are non gun people sucking up the propaganda of the anti gun crowd.
What seems to be lacking in far too many folks loose understanding about gun ownership and concealed permitting or not is the fact there is more common sense to responsible gun ownership and concealed weapons permitting than the bias would seem to allow.
The other obvious trend is for these same people to completely ignore the statistics on the safety and prevention that in fact does come within a society that allows lawful ownership and carrying of weapons.
No intent ever meant to convince anybody to like or favor guns, gun ownership or any related subject matter. Just recognize the difference between opinion, bias and reality.....and what one does not know about the gun ownership community within the United States.
