Some people travel outside The Villages to the real world. Try exercising your right to walk around West Palm Beach some night along Tamarind Ave. Maybe you would rather take a stroll in Liberty City in Miami. Give your speech to the first mugger you are approached by. I'm sure he'd be glad to know that you are unarmed. Maybe you will even survive after a few months in intensive care.
I don't expect you to know these neighborhoods but sometimes we get into places that we wouldn't go into if we knew the area. It doesn't hurt to be prepared just in case. What harm would it be if you carried protection for yourself? The fact that you carry a gun doesn't make you into a lunatic that wants to kill everyone. I've carried for about 20 years and only once did I come close to having to pull it, but it was a good feeling that it was there.
We have a right in this country of two choices, to have a gun or not. You have chosen not, but don't bad mouth that those that chose to have.
