Great.
It's bad enough dealing with unpredictable idiots packing pistols.
When you start packing personal nukes you all will be a barrel of monkeys.
The personal nuke is a chimera. How are people who can't even remember
when to get their oil changed going to handle the complex maintenance
requirements for nuclear weapons.
The smallest RELIABLE, i.e. it could be stockpiled and expected to work
when needed, weighs in around 50 lbs. And they're only good for 5 years
or so in storage before they have to be returned to manufacturer for
disassembly and overhaul.

If you wanted to implement a Swiss model "tradition" in combination with
American "military history", the most reasonable equipage would be to
require all citizens to carry a powder horn and ring bayonet into the
voting booth.
