Michael Dunn, the Florida man who shot into a carful of teens, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibilty of parole.

Lives ruined because one man decided to carry a gun.

And yet there are Villagers who claim they carry a pistol wherever they go. It is legal - but is it smart?

You should give Chicago a try. 100% gun free zone. Has been for 40 years.
It is a Mayberry Utopia. We do not not even lock our doors up here. Not one gun shop in the city.

I was thrilled at the verdict. He shot ten times into the car, didn't call 911, went back to his hotel and ordered a pizza. Hope he enjoys his homies in prison...forever.

Are you insinuating he may take a lover ?

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Michael Dunn got just what he deserved and may he live a long and healthy life as a guest of the great state of Florida.

We lost one of our own residents last week when her husband shot her in the back in her bedroom before taking his own life.

Gun Laws Blamed For Chicago's Holiday Weekend Shooting Surge

Lots of illegal guns floating around though.

Methinks he was being facetious, Tal.

Tom Rich (the suicide-murderer) probably would have used something else if a pistol was not available. Knife, bottle, rope, bat, large rock, poison, garbage bag, etc. There are many lethal weapons in any home in the Villages. They would be a lot harder to use than something that you just load, cock, point and pull the trigger though.

Michael Dunn richly deserves his sentence.

Regarding concealed carry ... it's only smart if you are going somewhere where you think you may encounter a threat, AND if you know how/when to use a weapon. I personally feel no need to carry concealed inside the TV bubble. Orlando or Jacksonville ... different story.

.
If you are eligible to have a Weapon,
it is LEGAL to carry a Weapon in your Vehicle, IN Florida,
WITHOUT a Concealed Carry Permit.

Please read the rules about "under your control" and "contained".
Do not assume that everyone is aware of this portion of the law.
