When you get places that declare themselve to be "Gun Free Zones" who do you think will be "
packin' heat." Not the law-a-bidden citizen. Its a joke amoung firearms trainers that "Gun Free Zones" are actually called "Target Rich Environments," meaning only the bad guys have guns, because they are criminals who are breaking the law for a living and they don't care. Surprise, Surprise.
Bad Guys may be stupid but they aren't dumb. They fear meeting an armed citizen much more then they ever fear meeting up with the police. We need to pass laws that take the criminal off the streets, use a firearm in the commission of a crime, 50 years, first offense, hurt someone, no matter how minor the injury, death penalty. Only take a couple cases and most of this craziness would stop. Disarming law abidding citizens does nothing to reduce crime. Stumping hard on criminals really does reduce crime. No good time, no reduced sentences, do the crime do
ALL the time.
GUN CONTROL is nothing but a government fearing its law abidding citizens and is more commonly called
PEOPEL CONTROL.
I keep a watch on the surrounding areas, when minor crimes start taking place in The Villages, on a regular bases, I will start carrying all the time. Sometimes it minor stuff that takes place before the major stuff hits the fan. I have home owners insurance, auto insurance and also crinimal insurance. I hope that I never have to use any of them.
