I do not advocate banning guns. I advocate showing a legitimate need for carrying and not the b.s. about "it is my right" to carry. It is just ridiculous to think carrying a gun in The Villages is necessary.
I advocate "smart" guns so kids could not accidently shoot them.

Let's focus on where we agree as a means to progress ...
1. I'm glad you don't advocate banning guns. That's a non-starter anyway.
2. The law permits people to carry hence assumes the need. However, I agree that making sure people are trained in the use of firearms is both reasonable and desirable.
3. I also agree that carrying concealed within the interior of TV is not needed at present ... however Leesburg and other impoverished places is another story. I would carry there for sure. You can also make a case to carry on the periphery ...ie recent robbery of an elderly woman in broad daylight just off 441.
