We can no longer drive on major interstates without seeing the police/sheriffs/troopers lined up every ten miles, even when it’s not a holiday weekend. It won’t be long until TSA is lining the roads too, since no one cared that they started lining the airports, trains, and sporting events.
We avoid all armed fed goons, e.g. in the national parks. It’s just not a good idea to talk to any LEOs anymore. I wouldn’t call them for anything, especially after they gunned down one of my parents’ neighbors, a nice, young gentleman.
I carry in my car. I see the cops as “secretaries with guns”. There are two reasons for calling them:
1. I’m outgunned and it’s a semi-static situation.
2. The event is over and someone needs to take down names and collect evidence.
