They are responsible folks and I love them. You learn new stuff every day. Never had neighbors back in Ohio who had guns or who went to gun clubs. A very big bunch of people have guns here. Don't fool with old people.

I'm not new to guns since I grew up in West Virginia and the opening day of deer hunting season was an automatic excused absence at Monongah High School. I've fired a few myself as part of my ROTC training. But I'll be sure not to tick off any of the good ladies of The Villages, particularly if they have their hands on the holster at their hip.

Hope to see all of you in January. I'm coming unarmed, though.
