Not to discourage you but I really don't think the LE mindset is that different. A bit better, but I can't imagine real respect for the Constitution coming from most law officers even here in WY.
If I conceal carried a firearm without a permit, I expect you would be arrested here same as KY. Etc Etc.
I do say we need good cops who are libertarian minded and the more the better.
We just moved here recently from michigan. We made a good choice. Everything about WY is better except for the lack of trees.
I've been thinking about this sort of thing for about 2 years now...in order to make a real difference, you would have to have a Chief of police (of some type) who was actually willing to uphold The Constitution and true American principles. It would (at first and barring a fluke) almost have to be a sheriff. Most sheriffs’ (at least in KY) are the beat all and end all of county authority. A focused effort on part of the people (like FSW!) could put such a person in office at the county level. City chiefs are usually appointed and always have the city councils breathing down their necks...we all know what that usually means.
A good Sheriff would be able to take office, clean house, and help create a small pocket of real America within a given county. Once people see the difference, such a change could spread, especially in today’s increasingly police state Amerika. I would work under such a person as a peace officer when the time comes. Until someone good has the courage, character, and conviction to stand up for our rights…I would rather do something else. I wouldn’t violate a citizens’ rights just because someone ordered me to do so.
I believe I will miss trees as well...but the trade off is worth it. If I can find a good piece of hilly property with water on it, I will be a happy man!!!
