While watching last night's episode, it dawned on me that Thompson doesn't have any troops except the Sheriff's Department and Jimmy. So, how does he expect to counter what we all know is coming down the track - the Mafia?
Don't forget that this was set in 1920 ... LONG before the heyday of the Mafia. Nucky had some semblance of the "law" on his side and that negated a lot of guns that the Mob could put up.
