Common sense would dictate that the county with the disarmed population would have the understaffed/overworked/experienced police force, while the county with the voluntarily armed population would have the overstaffed/underworked/inexperienced police force.

My guess is most humans would not want to be a cop in the former county, or a career predator in the later county, due to increased chance of personal injury and/or death. Not very good material for an intellectual internet discussion, but hey, that just theory vs. practice.
In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they're not.
