When there IS no government then you can expect to be accosted at any time by the meanest son of a bitch in the valley, carrying a large gun, and accompanied by his vicious hangers-on. If you are a man, they will rob you, beat you up, maybe kill you. Or they might recruit you to join the gang and do that to other people. If you are a woman who is still young enough to attract their attention, they will rob you, rape you, and then kill you.
