The Top 40

To be fair, if you click through you'll see that delivery is to the Dept of Education office in Chicago. If you're going into any of the public schools around here, a shotgun is probably the minimum you want to go in with...

I wrote to them about this two days ago, and here is the response I got back from them:

Thank you for your email to Holly Le. Ms. Le has forwarded your inquiry to the Office of Inspector General for response. The Office of Inspector General is the law enforcement arm of the U.S. Department of Education and is responsible for the detection of waste, fraud, abuse, and other criminal activity involving Federal education funds, programs, and operations. As such, OIG operates with full statutory law enforcement authority, which includes conducting search warrants, making arrests, and carrying firearms. The acquisition of these firearms is necessary to replace older and mechanically malfunctioning firearms, and in compliance with Federal procurement requirements. For more information on OIG's law enforcement authority, please visit our Web site at: www.ed.gov/oig.
The information is available on the front page of our site.

Thank you again for your inquiry.

The 14 inch barrels on those puppies would make them Class IIIs.

RE 14" barrels: "NFA for thee, not for me."

SWAT teams for school systems ... getting hairy out there, folks.

On a related note, our neighborhood daycare lady has a CCL. Sort of a carrying-carer, ya know?

The beat goes on...

This will go on your permanent record, punk.

Remember the good old days when the bad kids grabbed their ankles when told to and got a swat with a paddle?
Now they're actually using SWAT?

Yes it does seem odd, but Patvann's comment makes sense. The Post Office has Postal Inspectors, it's own police force.

I think this comes about because there is no general police power in the federal government, no general federal police force. Outside of federal property and specific federal laws the federal government just does not have police authority. The general police power still resides with the states.

At least that is how I remember it from law school.

My dog ate my homework. Shoot him.

ATTENTION: Any individual or pesron who believes to be aggrieved or harmed by the NY State Court system please contact me at the address below if interested in pursuing a class action lawsuit and / or other action against the State of New York. It is the position of this group that New York state operates a constitutionally deficient and defective court system in many ways including denying fundamental rights of contact and visitation with minor children to Parents, either mother or father, while convicted felons/abusers in the state prison system have rights of contact and visitation with children. If you believe you are aggrieved by the Court system, the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, the Appellate Division Discipline Committees, Law Guardians and/or have been forced to endure improper Supervised Visitation programs or related problems in the NY Court system please come forward and let your voice be heard. joinusnow1960@hotmail.com
