In other words, if anyone with a license can carry a gun, that gives them the power to kill people. Even if they only use their gun for the right reasons, they still have so much power without necessarily that much training.

The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit. If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.

Hello. I live in an area policed by a county department. But my village has its own small police department of 6 or 5 men. Apparently, it's staffed 24/7. How could shifts possibly be organized to make that possible? (They answer their own calls.)

Asked by Name over 11 years ago

I don't know. You should pop in to the local department, introduce yourself and ask. They might even have a citizens academy where they go over all of the department's functions.
