Many of these towns still have those laws, they never removed them and refuse to to this day.

Waiting for SCOTUS to make it legal again. (And Trump's presence is effectively an endorsement of that.)

A lot of these small towns around me don't even have their own police force or only have a few people on staff and have to use the sheriff for backup. They're going to have a bad time if people decide they're not going to put up with it.

Yeah, but it's probably one of those sherrif departments that's managed to get a couple APCs and tanks with tax payer funds.
