Captain, I appreciate everything you say, but those people are scared down there, and many have the idea that doing something is better than doing nothing. Even if it's not being armed to deal with someone with an automatic weapon, simply having a weapon on site may deter some.

There are established methods for recruiting auxilliary police, similar to that used to recruit RCMP officers.

And, is spite of what you say, I believe many people are willing to volunteer their time for nothing to do police work, and are usually more willing to do so, if they are trained and armed in the process. I think having an armed auxilliary police force can greatly reduce the cost of overall policing.

just my opinion
