ahh but one thing is the US Marine Corps Peace Keeping Forces have access to a lot more firepower and resources than we do, if your mom is a road deputy ask her how long it can take for her to get help if she needs it, if its like most rural or urban sheriffs depts it can take up to 20 minutes to get help, being in the city at least the longest we usually had to wait MIGHT be a minute, but thats soon to change for me, as it looks like I will soon be a deputy in IL and have to get used to this no help thing
