Many of these towns still have those laws, they never removed them and refuse to to this day.
Waiting for SCOTUS to make it legal again. (And Trump's presence is effectively an endorsement of that.)
A lot of these small towns around me don't even have their own police force or only have a few people on staff and have to use the sheriff for backup. They're going to have a bad time if people decide they're not going to put up with it.
Yeah, but it's probably one of those sherrif departments that's managed to get a couple APCs and tanks with tax payer funds.
County by me has 13k people in it across 500 sq miles. Not sure how they're going to catch anybody in an APC (which they didn't have) after they zoop out of the area on one of the many country roads.
"Let the states decide!"
