I just don't see USA disarming without a civil war. They are too far down the path to simply ban all guns. Maybe something like this is the practical way forward.

Oh Christ no, America has enough trouble with recruiting and vetting deputies and training them properly and now your going to open the door to more volunteer deputies carrying their guns in public.
No thanks
The only way that I would want this to work is if its drawn from retired cops with exemplary records.
But I don't want Joe Yahoo writing an exam and taking a 3 days course walking around enforcing the law. At that point you might as well make it ok to arm every lowly security guard that took the 2 day guarding a retail store course.
This is as bad of an idea as having unprotected sex with strangers in Haiti
