Or.. you could.. you know.. get law enforcement to do their job and arrest those that commit crimes in government and stop this from being necessary ..
That's the compromise we make to live in a civilization. You can be your own boss in the Alaskan bush but a single injury or stupid decision can kill you.
False dichotomy, friend. Look at the history of the US, even the difference in the states. Where citizens are empowered to protect and defend, there is less crime. Where they are expected to rely on other ppl for that safety, its not so great is it?
Look at homeschooling vs public ed. Yea, not all parents are good at it, but more and more are doing waaaay better than teachers in states where parents can't or won't engage in tge process.
Even fire fighters... if my husband had WAITED for the fire dept (1/4 mile from our house) to take action when our neighbor's home was on fire, we would have lost our home. They were confused and inept when they finally showed up (grateful I am, but facts are facts)
Yes, LEOs should be empowered to be effective, and punished for corruption and/or gross incompetence.
The serenity prayer is highly applicable here, imho.

Exactly. We have government and law enforcement because we don't want to be constantly dealing with this shit ourselves.
When you abdicate your power to others -- in any domain-- you have less control, less influence.
