Or they have to purchase their own gear, with weapons only using ammo that the state and provide (or they can provide). One of the State Guards/Defense Forces i've read about allows for personnel to purchase their own gear... and actually give you tax credits if you do that.

Some state guards allows rich locals to buy gear in bulk as well.

Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
