This is a safe community where you do not need to fear for your life. If you are moving here from a dangerous area where you needed protection...get over it! You are here now and you do not need protection. If you have the mindset that you will carry because you can...then maybe move somewhere where you will need the protection...you don't need it here. Put the gun away in a safe place and enjoy yourself! No need to fear your neighbors here.
With all the former cops, FBI, military, etc here in TV it may not be their neighbors they fear. After Gen Norman Schwartzcof (?sp) retired he had 24/7 armed bodyguards for a long time. How do we know who fits into a similar category?
