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?

Dear Buggyone, you don't know me, and your post putting violence with my name is upsetting and totally out of line. How in the world did you fantasize that I am a violent nut who would shoot someone like that? The violence happened in your mind only.
People who carry know where they can't carry: banks, federal and court buildings, bars, schools...your prejudice that people who carry are wildly irresponsible is misplaced.
Had I been the neighbor who witnessed the crime, I would have gotten in my car, called 911, follow until I could report their tag number and a description and then gone back to check on the neighbor. What would you have done?
