Those who came from less safe areas bring their fears with them. I do NOT say that there is no crime here, but there is VERY little and people who want to drum up fear for their own purposes continue to do so.
I will continue to move about this space as I have the space I left in Ohio and enjoy the fact that I feel as of this day, this month, this year, I don't need to learn how to handle a firearm. I have managed to take care of myself for 73 years without one and I will continue.
I am not against others doing it. I just do NOT feel it is necessary and particularly here in TV.
This thread will continue for pages and people will disagree with me, and they are entitled to their opinions but I see no reason to get all paranoid over what probably was teen vandalism.

Well said and I agree 100%. Some folks just get more paranoid as they age and conspiracy theories seem to creep in. If you feel The Villages is not a safe place, do some reading on crime statistics.
