They are uniformed federal law enforcement. Why wouldn't they carry firearms? Last Edited by Bloody Peasant! on 06/09/2021 08:56 PM This business will get out of control.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79378068 Err - you got the "park" part, right? Aside from the OBVIOUS things like grow-ops or other illegal operations that often take place in the ass end of public lands where Parks is required to patrol or crazies in the park that are hiding from the real world and attack others, the wilderness has ANIMALS. Big ones, strong ones, and ones that aren't afraid of you. Yelling "Stahp, I'm woke" at a charging Grizzly isn't going to keep you alive, and you're not getting ambulance service in many of the places these folk need to work. It's not excessive, it's safety for THEM. Bearspray should be enough. That's all I want them to have. Okay snowflake. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79096761 United States 06/09/2021 09:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me send you walking into a few neighborhoods of Chicago, by yourself, armed with Bear Spray. Afterwards, as we talk in the hospital - if you make it there - tell me all about how people are oh so nice and caring and nobody dealing with druggies and drug gangs needs to carry anything other than bear spray. Yep ... the Parks are filled with druggies and heavily armed people these days, some of them without a full load upstairs. |

As far as the law enforcement officer type goes I have experienced 2 kinds. One is a cop. The other is a steward of natural resources. One loves their gun. The other loves their ranger hat. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79378068 to protect the resources and deal with wacked out drunks on meth at 4 am If you ever knew a park ranger or was one like I had been in previous life you would know why they do. I don't think you were a park ranger IN A PREVIOUS LIFE and if you were, you were unarmed except maybe for a club. Rangers should communicate with people and tell undesirables to get lost per the rules. If they don't, call in the cops. we did dumbshit. its called verbal judo and I used it all the time. your weapon is always last chance. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Forget the red or the blue pill.

Just because you mean no harm, doesn't mean others don't. Lot of shady stuff going down in Parks and around parks. [link to www.tampabay.com (secure)] |
