I shoot regularly and am quite proficient. But really I don't need you to trust me. Where as some people enjoy the archery range, I enjoy the pistol/rifle range.
Oh, and my golf cart doesn't get aimed. It gets driven. lol

Hey, OBB, now c’mon, don’t paint all of them with the same brush. Some of them know what they are doing.

But I get what you are saying. I remember when there were quite a few coyotes being spotted in TV neighborhoods and — oh yeah, they were gonna get their guns ready. Geez. Had they ever noticed how close together the houses are? Posers.

The more some guys go on and on and on about their guns, the more I think about that quote attributed to Freud and try to make myself believe it. (But that does not usually work. I cannot help reading between the lines.)

Consider that at our current size, if you exclude people who live together getting into fights or ex-boyfriends and girlfriends stalking, or that sort of rare thing, there is essentially no crime in our neighborhoods. There are no murders, no assaults, no shootings, no rapes, no burglaries. Despite what you consider inadequate security at the gates, our residential streets are quiet and virtually free of cars. It’s rare indeed to see people driving around who look suspicious.

The fact that nearly all residents are older makes crime much less common here. Also, the sorts of people most likely to commit crimes are more likely to buy in towns where the real estate is much less expensive. So if we maintain our present gate situation and keep prices high and buyers old, crime should stay low. If the developer were to change its policy and sell to young families, that could change, but apart from one neighborhood coming up that is aimed at employees of The Villages, I don’t see that happening. If the housing prices were half as high, or lower, that could bring in crime. My only worry about crime is building within Wildwood city limits, as Wildwood has much more crime. I wouldn’t want Wildwood drug addicts using drugs in the proposed park with trails connecting Wildwood with new villages or using those trails to get into these new villages and burgle homes. I would prefer a high wall with no entrance.
I had $5,000 worth of audio equipment and tools stolen during a break-in. Pollice found zero fingerprints and never recovered any of my property. MY neighbor had his wheelbarrow stolen. A couple of blocks away and a few days ago, Police had to subdue and use a tranquilizer shot on a resisting burglar.
.....I remember an 80-year-old tennis player that got crazy and had to be handcuffed and thrown down by a Policewoman. He also later was seen urinating in public (in front of a woman). And he did several other things including defying a Judge's order to see a SHRINK!. So, the old grandparents, their children, and grandchildren that are living here will flat out rob and hurt you! Be very careful in TV Land.
