Militarized, I believe is a more fitting word. I have no issue with anyone being armed. In fact I'm under the impression that if everyone was armed crime and abuse of power would be nearly stamped out. People would be more respectful to one another and law enforcement would certainly be more respectful to the citizens they are meant to serve and protect. In fact their would be little need for law enforcement. Because the people would soon learn to police themselves. Legislators would be very careful to not tread on the peoples rights and Judges would be mindful of rendering a just verdict. This of course is my opinion and no one is obliged to agree.
