Equipment updates & purchases for newly hired Special Agents of Criminal Investigation & Treasury Inspectors, these are the only IRS job descriptions permitted to carry arms in the line of duty.

Cajun if you ever dealt with them first hand you would understand why they need to have armed people around. :rofl

I should note Taxman says they have changed but honestly after my experiences with them I felt like I was dealing with assholes.

[TaxmanHog]

Yes, even after the changes along the lines of kinder & friendlier public face, there are still Assholes, sorry to say & no excuses for that kind of behavior.

On a side note, Special Agents are always on call to their brothers in the Secret Service as Backup's when ever the POTUS travels to any part of the country, some of the arms in their arsenal might be more appropriate to protecting him than cracking down on criminal tax cheats.

OTOH: they do deal with the dirtiest of tax cheats who do not think twice about capping their competition or LEO's.:gun:

Sorry guys, my link changed for some reason. The link was to a purchase order for the Department of education. Why do these guys need shotguns? I'll try it again.

Have you been in some schools lately. Its one of the major factors that led me to leave my course to become a HS history teacher and now work as a crane operator. If they armed me i might go back.

Now, Danv, how did our schools get that way hmmm? Teachers Unions, NEA, Big Government takeover and the eviction of God and the paddle! In short, liberalism and multicutulturalism and your party! Down here in the Northwestern Panhandle you find us praying and fighting to keep control of our way of life. Heard of the ACLU suing the Pace Patriot High School? Go to to teach in any major city controlled by Dems, Detroit, Chicago, La, Atlanta, Ny, Memphis, Jackson, Ms. for god sakes...and you will need a gun!:gun:

PS: They will never arm you, that you must do for yourself! Liberals and Trial Lawyers support disarmament and criminal rights!
