Sheriffs are elected by the local people. That is a far cry from the modern police state with standing police forces that rival most countries' armies.
Mexico is a place where many people exercise their right to bear arms, despite the fact that doing so is heavily illegal in the country. I do not consider that a safe place.
Being heavily illegal in the country is the problem. This means only criminals are exercising their right to bear arms while the law abiding are discouraged from doing so.
If everyone exercised their right to bear arms, police would not be needed.
