Re: Why are park rangers walking around strapped with guns?
Park rangers are people who wanted to be cops but flunked the psych test.
 Quoting: Doctor Congo


This is true.

The Park Service still doesn't administer psych tests.

God knows how many psychos they're employing.

I just want to go camping and hiking in our public lands and not have some rude asshole armed to the teeth ordering me around.

Are we talking national park rangers or game commission officers?
 Quoting: Zorro A. Knievel Esq.

It's strange that people just accept this.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79378068


Not really - most people that USE parks understand the dangers. Fat trolls that likely never leave their basements do not.

As I said, you are obviously playing stupid. As another intelligent poster said, dumb bait thread.

However, I did just want to leave a fond wish that you end up in the great outdoors getting a visit from that grizzly I mentioned - and that an armed Ranger is there to make sure that neither you or anyone else get harmed.

Now stop trolling about stupid shit and use your powers for good.

Are you in a militia? I doubt it, because they aren't legal, apparently. Work on making them legal, then you have 100% compliance and no one can ever take your right away.

Because they can.

I damn sure carry if I'm in the forest by myself, so I agree that they may do so as well. Unless, of course, they have just listened to too many "true horror" podcasts.

Wow, the Park Service doesn't administer psychological tests and they didn't even conduct background checks until the mid 1990s.

And most park superintendents with their squads of shooters have NO law enforcement experience.

The Park Service does not routinely release data about use of force by rangers. (A Freedom of Information Act request to review the agency’s data about use of force by rangers nationwide, filed in August by Outside, is still pending.) However, as is true with other law-enforcement agencies, the past decade has seen a number of cases in which rangers have been accused of responding to minor violations with excessive force.

Re: Why are park rangers walking around strapped with guns?
Here in Washington state at a campground near enumclaw last summer there was Park rangers with AR-15s. There was a lot of violence at that campground previously. But yeah it kind of ruins your trip to be given the third degree as you enter the campground by an overbearing park ranger with 5.56 magazines strapped to their bulletproof vest.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79750406


AR-15s?
WTF?
Why?

I'm in Washington also and I don't like the way the rangers strut around like they're badasses. They should be peaceful public servants who enjoy the outdoors.

The other day one of them was staring at me, giving me a hard look with his .45 on his hip. Fuck that.

The question "why do you need that gun" is the wrong question to ask. All people have a right to guns, except violent felons. I would like to see all people walking around with guns period - including park rangers and everybody else!

Re: Why are park rangers walking around strapped with guns?
Federal Parks Police and law-enforcement rangers— both state and federal—have to meet all of the same training/hiring requirements as any other sworn officers. Those are the ones you see with firearms and driving in patrol vehicles. You are confusing them with the whole other class of park rangers (not LEO) that do the other work and maintenance in parks, like leading tour groups.

Because Amerika is now a Police State run by socio-psychopathic elite who absolutely hate the human race.

Park Rangers have lots of guns because humanity needs to be exterminated from existence on this planet, in the view of some high-level controllers hidden in the shadows.
