That's used for breaching. No big deal.

heard about this from a friend also. would be nice to get an explanation as to why they feel the need to be armed. I don't think food processing plants are giving them troubles.

The IG office has law enforcement duties.


It is not hard to find out this type of information. A simple 15 second Google search will get you your answer.

According to Yeager...

LOL is right! Almost all USPSA shooters in the Limited division use .40 cal, loaded to major power factor. Mostly on the STI/SVI 2011 platform but there are plenty of Glock 35's in competition. Nobody is going to handicap themselves with a caliber that is "harder to shoot".

If you look up DOD directive 3025.18 it will answer most of your questions. Very scary stuff.

USDA also includes the US Forest Service under its umbrella. The USFS has had armed rangers for a long time now, and they run into some not-so-nice folks at grow sites.
