Still wouldn't be comfortable depending on the level of training and screening, and at that point in my mind they might as well go and become cops.
We don't need half trained yahoos with or without lethal weapons going around with the power to arrest and intimidate.
We don't need half trained yahoos some who will have a hero or Rambo complex getting in the way of actual police.
Citizens won't separate the police from the marshals when something goes wrong. Keep the volunteers to the fire department.
