And they've lost several officers, and at least on K-9, to gunfire in the last few years. So, if its the FS Law Officers who need them, let 'em have 'em.Oldnretdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-8452360016005025342014-05-18T09:09:49.820-05:002014-05-18T09:09:49.820-05:00USDA offices are not the friendly places they were...USDA offices are not the friendly places they were a few years back. The County Executive Directors now seem to be trained to act like Nurse Diesel, and they now delight in fining farmers for problems on the farm ground in the federal programs. The USDA's OIG unit is particularly nasty,and you do not want to let anyone know in a USDA office that you have a pocketknife (even in your vehicle in the parking lot). 3" is the limit, and they will prosecute. A Soil and Water Conservation District employee was fired and prosecuted for having a Buck 110 knife on his belt when they started enforcing that rule. Soil and Water employees work in the field most days, and a knife is a necessary tool in the field, but that doesn't matter to the bureaucratically-minded.David aka True Blue Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221281748612938132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-59267390545062050212014-05-18T07:01:59.324-05:002014-05-18T07:01:59.324-05:00Might have something to do with the USDA's For...Might have something to do with the USDA's Forest Service and the grow operations in northern California.jon spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886632644249920124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-48113326630679282632014-05-17T20:40:05.302-05:002014-05-17T20:40:05.302-05:00It wonders me what happens to the agent who get hi...It wonders me what happens to the agent who get hit in the chest or back with a 150 gr. hi-vel .30 cal. projectile at a range of, oh say, 75 yards? I seem to remember reading somewhere that if such a strike is not immediately lethal, it still does serious injury not unlike being struck there with an eight pound sledge hammer weilded by someone strong and irate. I am nearly 70 yrs old, own several 7,62 X 51mm & .308 Winchester cal. rifles and many dozens of cartridges, all soft point. Not only that but I am a skilled shooter.
