And then we must contend with the druggies , drunks, show-offs and other riff-raff that land here either as vacationers , airBnB , or outsiders from neighboring communities etc. but thats life in America today.
And yesterday and the day before. It’s always been that way.

Don't know why you posted this in response to my question...

It has nothing to do with what I asked...

Are you asserting that they are violating the law, or that they already have a valid permit?

If they are breaking the law and get caught, they should be appropriately charged...

Major assumption you're making. The buds could have been simply sync'ed to his phone, so he could be "hands free" when receiving a call...

My guess was that his spouse was ill and he had to be "on call" in case of emergencies... (see how that works?)

No, I am saying they don’t care about the law and they already carry guns with or without a permit. I am saying that they don’t need a law to address their innocence.

Are you saying this doesn’t go on? If so, you should adjust your naivety meter.

Any facts to back that up?

If they are currently carrying illegally, and happen to show/use their gun, they are in for a world of unpleasantness...

Gun Thefts from Cars: The Largest Source of Stolen Guns | Everytown Research & Policy

It looks like from a quick Google search that most criminal gangs get their guns by stealing them.

Drove out today…golf carts filled with breeders grandkids..some even driving. Go to DisneyWorld already!!!
Wow. A rare example of no civility in TV!!
Fortunately, most of us who are here all year appreciate our snowbird friends and their contributions to keeping TV a beautiful place to live.
The jerk on the golf cart could have been anyone. I like the ID tag idea, though. We should have a means to report Aggressive and dangerous drivers. My cell phone is always handy to take a mug shot picture. 👍🏻

Probably from old people who "only wanted to scare him, officer. It never occurred to me that I might actually have to hurt anybody."

......There was an individual here on TOTV who BRAGGED that his golf cart was set up to do 45 MPH. That was within about the last 2 months.
