Just a few random ramblings... you're right, except probably 80-90% around here are armed... I grew up in St. Simons, Sea Island's a little east & north, and far as I recall, it's a private island- that "they'll have to let us in" won't fly.
This is a very, very conservative area- Hell, even the Democrats are conservative, for the most part! One reason my little one-man protests against Clinton never got much traction is that nearly everyone here absolutely despises him & his enablers- it's preaching to the choir.
And just a personal note- the local media is crowing about how this is going to make us all rich and famous- but I don't buy that- it will be like Jimmy Carter visiting Musgrove Plantation years ago- a moment of fame, then forgotten...
