Somebody has already stolen their hubcaps.
Department of Education Buying Shotguns!
- Thread starter Scattergun Bob
- Start date
This seems to go along with what most of "us" generally believe...that the good guys need to have guns since the bad guys will have them and use them without asking permission from anybody - regardless of the fact that just about all schools are "gun free" zones. Somehow the bad guys don't really seem to care if there is a sign outside that says "gun free zone" :barf:
Of course I would rather the teachers and other school staff be able to carry legally on campus with a CC permit, so that the schools could be filled with guns in the hands of the "good guys", and spread all throughout the campus, whether it be elementary, highschool, or college.

Whoa! The department of education?
Okay, so how violent are these people who are committing “waste, fraud, abuse, and other criminal activity involving Federal education funds, programs, and operations?"
Help me understand this. The IG investigators uncover some kind of violation. Are they going to suit up in black armor and bring tactical shotguns to arrest someone? Will they do that to...
-- The linoleum contractor who overbilled $80,000?
-- A coach who gets a kickback to recommend a sports store?
-- The owner of a furniture store who overcharged for the principal's new desk?
-- The five teens who vandalized two dozen lockers?
-- Four thieves who stole six computers from the school lab?
C'mon. They develop the case, get a warrant and then call on local PD or Federal agents to arrest these folks.
I can't even see this as justified for officers who patrol federal department buildings using a car like that shown above. If they see something suspicious, they should call for backup from the local PD.

They're going to need a lot more than that...
For the guns perhaps they are part of the Homeland Security .Criminal Investigators
relax...These folks are all FLETC trained to the same degree as U.S. Marshals, Treasury, and other agents. A small, but necessary cadre, that we shouldn't waste our time worrying about. Besides law enforcment in nearly ANY venue can be hazardous to your health.

"DOE" is a misleading acronym.
The Dept. of Education has a small police force to secure mostly it's admistration buildings.
The "other" DOE - Department of Energy employs it's own "security force". Among other places they guard are...
- Oak Ridge Laboratories, TN
- Nuclear Power Plants
- Lawrence Livermore National Labs in CA
- Sandia National Labs in NM
- Fermi Labs outside of Chicago
- National Ignition Facility (Fusion research)
And many other facilities.
Some of these facilities require only minimal gate security and light facility security (i.e. Sandia is on Kirtland AFB) while others require a 30-40 man force (e.g. Lawrence Livermore).
