At a time when there is considerable uproar as to whether trained police officers are good judges of when to use lethal force, Maine is about to encourage all of its citizens to carry firearms – the extreme instruments of lethal force – presumably because citizens should expect occasions to have to use them, since they think police protection is inadequate.
It’s a crazy world out there.
