Good point. I am of the opinion that everyone should be armed and have firearm training - i used to shoot alot, things like that. Hard in new zealand to get a firearm now though, need to get pretty much a police interview - so most people dont have any means of protection but police, not against harden crimnals - i think in the united states, or likewise place, if you live in the county and everyone can protect yourself, yeah, dont really need police at all. People can look after themselves for the most part. But in the mouse untpoian cities lik NYC, might be hard - or places where its harder to get a fire arm. But yeah, you raise a good point! You are lucky to live in such a community - that is kind of my dream. I never heard that term unincorporated village had to look it up. But yeah, that sounds great. I was looking at moving to a remote place in new zealand - but still working on that plan. Thanks!
