My response is: If you are walking around in a high crime area such as downtown Detroit, the projects of Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, or even the seedy places in Orlando - carry your pistol - but what in the world are you doing in those parts of the towns in the first place?
When you are in The Villages walking around at the town squares, dancing at the squares, or just golf carting around - don't you think it is really ridiculous to be carrying your concealed pistol?
I actually know someone who sleeps with a loaded pistol on his nightstand next to the bed. I know of another who will answer the door during the daytime with a pistol tucked into a holster in the small of his back with one hand ready to draw it. Personally, I feel very sorry for these people who are scared to live without their pistols - especially in The Villages.
