It really varies by state. In Texas it's more like the old days, shoot on sight more or less. Not so much in California, where one would likely be jailed/sued

It really varies by state. In Texas it's more like the old days, shoot on sight more or less. Not so much in California, where one would likely be jailed/sued for protecting liberties. You can sort of tell by interacting with the police. In one state they're rather kind/respectful, in the other they are burnt out by all the bs. All in all, America is still so wonderful though. As long as the average citizen retains the right to bear arms I think we'll make it out alive in the long run.
