There have been many replies but no post from the OP of whom I asked, "Could you enlighten all the readers on what inspired you to get a concealed carry permit and if you feel the need to carry a pistol in The Villages at any time?"
This was not flaming by any means but merely a question. If a person legally wants to own a gun or CCW, that is their right to do so. I only was trying to figure out why anyone would feel the need to carry a pistol in The Villages at any time.
There were some replies about outside of The Villages. There were some negative feelings about carrying a pistol at the town squares. Naturally, all know that carrying a pistol in a bar or bar area of a restaurant is illegal and will get you carted off by the police.
One poster wrote, "and if your in the theater and a shooting does occur you'd probably rather be sitting next to me than those who don't believe in carry." I would like to reply to that by saying in a very high stress situation like that - in a darkened theater - do you honestly think you would have been able to hit the Colorado shooter in a vulnerable place since he had on body armor? You only would have succeeded in drawing his fire to your area.
