I don't know the answer to this question.
How many innocent bystanders or guilty perpetrators have been shot by Villagers?
There are many things to worry about that we know about first hand.

I apologize if you thought I was being pushy. I just wanted to understand your point

And I guess I do from your comment "unlike a lot of you"...

I thought a simple question might be answered simply as well. There was no political intent to my post.

Then why was the post focused on women?

I was quoting what someone said to me. I didn't say it.

Anyone purchasing alcoholic drinks in a bar and packing is against the law. Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License Application, 790.06, (12)(a). Cannot carry a concealed weapon or firearm into: #12." Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose".
There's quite a lot of responsibility that accompanies a concealed weapons permit. I doubt there are many "drunk men packing". But then again, there's always the bad guys.

Not a good thing to carry in your purse-carry on your person--also if you have any alcohol in your system & you're caught-you're in deep poop

There are some women in TV that carry. In my circle of friends, I think I'm the only who does. If I think I'm going to have so much as one beer or glass of wine, my Glock is left at home or locked in the trunk of a car. My biggest concern with folks in a community such as TV carrying is the fear they will continue to carry if dementia or Alzheimer's begins. The combination of reduced mental faculties, anger issues involved with these diseases and a handy weapon is not a good combination to my mind.

You can't believe everything you read, especially
something posted on TOTV!

Try asking some of your friends what they think about CC. You may be surprised who will say they do. Think of all the retired LEOs living in TV. Likely most of them CC. Think of all the Floridians that live here. A large portion of them probably CC. It's part of the culture in the south. Your concern regarding carrying drunk is valid. I'm sure it does happen just like drunk driving. I'm also pretty sure there are a lot of unauthorized CC going on around here.

Have you asked them? You may be surprised.

Women know what their friends do. Men don't share things like that but women do. No one in my circle of friends carry, but some neighbors have been trained to use a gun and own one. This is new to me. Only people who hunted owned guns that I knew growing up. I was very glad they were armed when the break in's started last year about this time.

I do want to add for the benefit of any new readers that only in one instance were their people in the house and that was at night and the villagers were unaware of anyone entering.(AND they had a dog) Some of the bad guys gained entry by kicking in the front door in broad daylight or removing a slider in the back...also during the day. I think they watched the homeowners leave.

Quite frankly I do not know the answer to this.

I also do not believe the original person who authored the quote does not know either. It was stated that "most of the women she knows. . . " which tells us nothing.

There are a lot of people who post on here who either hear something or have feelings about something that state it is the truth. Just read all the posts about when the build out will be, what stores are coming here etc. etc.

IF you carry and IF you consume alcohol you are in violation.

I believe the OP on this post was merely asking a question and shouldn't be jumped on.

Who's to know a person is carrying concealed in a bar unless that person pulls it out? In which case, it's too late to do anything about, because obviously that person is not in control of his or her actions.

Very few that carry advertise. More women than men have conceal permits at work
