I've been a firearms instructor at The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center since 1998. Before that in the U. S. Air Force.

We have a house in TV and will be retiring next December. I plan on getting a Florida Instructor Permit when I get there. I'll get to shoot and teach others to shoot and maybe make a few $$ on th side.

Shooting is a skill that you need to keep up. I'll be the first to tell you some people shouldn't have guns. I see it everyday with our students. But, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. So sometimes you need to take care of yourself.

I would like to know if there are any ranges in the area, a gun club maybe? I'd really like a range with a 100 to 500 yard rifle range, but I'm sure that's too much to hope for. I'll take a 100 yard rifle and 25 yard pistol range. Anyone know of anything?

Villagegolfer, ladies are the easiest one to teach to shoot. They "listen" and don't have the DA gene that most guys have. Besides most of them can out shoot most men after a few lessons.

Want a way to carry concealed and no one will every know. This is one of the best concealed methods that I have found and I have seen lots of them.

Ladies, these also come in designer colors. My wife has one in pink, blue, green, black and purple, made especially for her my Tommy.

That's funny, but I'd still be way, way more concerned at being killed by a car.
In fact, I not concerned about being killed by a bullet at all. You've probably got a better chance at winning the lottery.

To show how ***MOD CUT*** the Florida concealed pistol permit is and how easy it is to obtain: A friend of ours in The Villages has her mom and dad living in The Villages, too. Her mom (85 years old) got her concealed pistol permit a few weeks ago so she is packing heat in public in The Villages. The dad (91 years old) has been confined to a wheelchair for many years. Even at home, he keeps a loaded pistol in the side pocket of the wheelchair. Both the mom and dad are proud of the fact they have a pistol within arms reach in every room in the house.

Once again, the usual persons that get hurt by a pistol at home are family members. It is your right but it is ridiculous to do. No one is welcome at my home if they are carrying a pistol.

Did you know that in Vermont there are no gun laws, except for the usual federal restrictions, and it's got one of the lowest, if not the lowest crime rates in the country?

Three cheers for the Mom and Pop of your story.

How many 90 year old's still drive and shouldn't. I'd still be way more worried about them then ma and pa barker.

Don't own a gun,
Don't plan to get one,
Would never force you to get one,

BUT......

I feel reassured that if at some point I feel I need to get one,
I have that right!!!

Thanks to the protectors of my rights!

Gun threads always get big response. If you don't want one don't buy one. But don't tell those that do that you are right and they are wrong. What makes you an expert? Did you read a few newspapers? I think golf is silly, but I'm wasting my time telling most Villagers that they shouldn't golf, and why should I. What the hell do I care if they play golf? What the hell do you care if I chose to protect myself and my wife.
