If there was no.cops or central issuing authority people would have to be responsible for their our actions and safety.

Would there be chaos in some areas?

Yes but word would spread those areas are to be avoided for lack of safety and they would eventually collapse in on themself as anyone with sense will not support such areas and people.


Couple this with the fact that if people were armed and had the abilty to protect their person property and loved ones with lethal force . I am of the opinion that a society would emerge that has common sense principles on daily living and dealing with people.

Not a perfect society( there has never been one) but a functioning one.

Good points TT. However, consider that a cops job in society is to essentially take out the trash, and deal with the bad element, so that folks don't have to. Most folks just want to be left alone, go to their jobs, and sleep at night without worrying about their property and family. Therefore, folks pay their taxes, to pay the police to do the job they would rather not do.

In your example, there would be extreme Darwinism. The strong would survive, the weak would die off. I agree it could be a functioning system, but a very tough world to live in for most folks.
