As I have said earlier, I do not see any sense in carrying a concealed pistol while in The Villages. There is no danger here that would invoke shooting at a person - is there?
Plenty of places in The Villages where a concealed pistol is illegal. Do the pistol packers always obey or do they voluntarily risk getting heavy fines?

It was Kitty Gilchrist who made those comments and I thought she meant them to be humorous.
Do we have to fight about guns all of the time? The Gun people and the non gun people aren't ever going to agree. The farmers and the cowboys can't be friends. The reds and blues will never see eye to eye. At our age these somewhat political or philosophical issues get WAAAAAY more important and touchy than they used to be.
Each side feels morally convinced on this subject. I used to be very non gun, but now am sliding over toward the center more. My sweetie who is a neutral on the subject says that if you take away guns, you only get them from the good guys. The bad guys will always find a way to get them.
I came from the central part of the country where the only guns I was familiar with belonged to hunters or policemen. Grew up in safe times and safe areas.
It doesn't do any good to argue about this issue, we all get so upset and there will be NO changing anyone's mind.
I feel safe here. If you have a gun, please don't point it at me. I am annoying but not dangerous.
