So when I graduate and become a LEO do I leave, or do you guys throw me out? Or are forest rangers exempt?

As long as you're on our side, you're fine.

Ah. Yeah it shocked me that the 508th PIR got split to 3 brigades.

I don't hate all law enforcement so long as they aren't tyrants. But overall, I distrust them.

That's fair, I don't trust cops either

Forest rangers are kind of a weird gray area.

But the job of a LEO in the US is *literally* nothing other than enforcing the will of the state on citizens, and extorting them for money, or locking them in cages for possession of whatever they deem bad this year.
Not to mention the long and continuous history of LEO doing little to nothing helpful and violently abusing the citizenry.

Tree cops can shove it.

Cops aren’t bad because some of them do bad things. Cops are bad because every single one of them has voluntarily agreed to enforce the will of the state with violence, and continued to do so when the will of the state is both immoral and unconstitutional

I mean that's fair, I just like nature. I want to get paid for being outside

I'm more of in the middle... Rangers can be good, but they can also be bad. Taking care of nature is good. When you start to act as law enforcement just because a few kids wanna sit around and fish and maybe have a couple beers. I don't like that. Tell them to clean up, but otherwise let them be.

There are weird forest service jobs that are like technically LE but just like watch trees and shit

I mean, I hate litterers with a passion. And I do believe in anti-poaching laws.

We have to manage the population of prey animals, or we would hunt them to the brink.

If people are hunting for sport, yeah I get that. But if they are actually trying to get food, or out there bushcrafting, I think that's just life.

The reason I said that, is because I have a suppressor that is legal in Idaho. But it doesn't follow federal law.

Fuck it, suppressors shouldn't be regulated.

They do nothing but protect your ears.

I think you should be able to buy them over the counter, like any other earpro

It's hard to tell the difference though. I agree with you, but I know folks that shoot 8 deer every year, and don't like the taste. They claim its for flod though.

There is a statute in Idaho law that says if it's made in Idaho, stays in Idaho, and isn't bought, transferred, or sold, NFA regulations don't apply.

Wait, really?

Suppressors shouldn't be regulated in any way.

And a nice little piece in that statute says that any federal agent that tries to implement federal law that violates state is subject to a fine and imprisonment

I love that....

I almost wanna move to potato-land

So I'm fine with everywhere in the state, but tree cops can be an issue being that they're federal agents.

Oh, im going to be a state ranger

Oh you're fine then.

RRrrrrrr-anger!

Hot shit bud

Besides, our rangers mostly search for bodies and complain about the drag races that keep occuring in the park

It also sucks because I can take the suppressor off and go to Montana but I can't go to Washington because my rifle is a "masheen assault rifle"

Dude that blows

Shall. Not. Seems pretty simple to me

Is it fully semi-automatic?

Binary trigger

Ooooh, hahaha.

So it's fully doubly-automatic.
