I respect your opinion to be a sheep so please respect my decision to be a sheepdog.

Do people know that any veteran with a DD214 can get a Concealed Carry Permit by just paying the application fee and getting fingerprinted? No test, no proficency required. Just pay the fee and get fingerprinted.
The theory obviously is that veteran has been trained in shooting - but for most in The Villages that was 20 to 40 years ago and those are skills that you do lose. If those skills were not ones you lose, police departments and the military would not require proficiency training at the range on a semi-annual basis.
I do not demonize those who carry a pistol. It is unnecessary but do it if you are well-trained and observe the rules and regulations for carrrying it. Brandish it or go into places that are prohibited and find yourself in trouble. Remember the retired police captain in Wesley Chapel. Great sheepdog he was. He will be eating Alpo for quite some time to come.
I do not need a sheepdog. I have one Shepherd and that is all I need.
