I believe you are right about two murders. One was a jealous husband who killed his wife and then himself. The other was several years ago and had to do with a 19 year old girl stealing some drugs from an Ocala drug gang and they killed her father while trying to get the drugs back. (Or something like that.)
No, The Villages is not crime proof but is still the safest place to be that I know. It is not realistic to be so scared to carry a weapon when going out for entertainment here. However, you know I am one of the most reasonable people I know. If someone can legally carry and they want to do so, go ahead and do it.
