Vernor Vinge, Extropian author extraordinary, explored citizens with
nuclear weapons in his Peace War stories.

The stories included time stopping "bobbles" that were proof against
nuclear blasts.  When the Sheriff showed up, you tossed out a nuke and
bobbled up for some years to let the radiation decay.
