MDNavyVet · Jun 28, 2013

Just one more thing to add to the list of problems our government is experiencing:

Not shocking having dealt with some of the officials from Park Police. Most of the rank and file seem to be decent though.

our tax dollars spent on only the best training and cross training and accountability.

Isn't "stored at home" actually employee theft?

Before you go lighting torches and grabbing pick forks read about the bitter history between Chief Chambers and the DOI. Also read the FOP response at the end of this article

Ask Eric Holder, I think he saw some Mexican drug lords running off with them.

Only the police and military should, . . . never mind.

Here is the problem, "There is no mention of any other former officials being held accountable for past failures, some of whom are still employed by the Department of Interior or other Federal agencies." This is a systemic problem throughout government agencies.

I'd like to point out that the USPP were issued HK P7M13 pistols; by and by they went to something else, and all the HKs were to have been destroyed.

One can hope that they were not. The market price on those guns is in excess of $1500. As a taxpayer, I'm horrified to see my money turned into manhole covers; as a fan of the P7 pistol, I'm horrified that I will not be able to afford one; should these come to market, it would drive the price down to something rational, and bring in over a million bucks to the USPP budget.

Let's see. The US govt intentionally put guns into the hands of bad guys in Fast and Furious.

Now they are losing them.

Anyone care to venture on the math comparison of govt guns ending up in bad hands versus the so-called problem of gun show and bad dealer sales supplying bad guys?

Man, the C&R folks like me would have a field day. 20 garands and 4 tommy guns?!

Nah, they're at the bottom of the reflecting pool ... a 'rare' but tragic boating accident for sure.

No doubt, I wouldn't screw with the Potomac based on how well armed it is from all those boating, canoeing, kayaking accidents.

Officers were given the option to buy back their gun, and only their gun. From what I can tell, most did not. I now know of one that was bought, and it has my name on it for whenever it sells. A good friend of mine at the time did not choose to buy his back even with me pleading for him to do so and with him knowing that he had a guaranteed, legal buyer for it.

I carry a P7 PSP all day, every day at work and sometimes away from work, and would love to step that up to a P7M13.
