Do you think hunters will be targets of DHS? (homeland security)?

    Or, alternately, if a law enforcement agency were to purchase such targets, it could be for exercises which require an officer to distinguish threats from bystanders...

    probably not (in the daytime anyway) because hunters are usually expected to be armed.

    Most of those training targets are people you wouldn't normally expect to be pointing a gun at you.

    Of course the 2 pictures of a grey bearded Joe Biden or Dick Cheney with a shotgun are an exception but all vice presidents look pretty much alike & nobody cares about them anyway so I guess the point of the DHS training is to pretty much shoot anything that moves.

    If I were a state game warden, I would take it as an insult for any outside agency to horn in on my job that I think I do well without help.

    BTW there are such people as federal game wardens.

    Hopefully. I assume that's the Department of Health and Sanity.

    Why not?

    According to Napolitano, EVERY citizen with a gun is dangerous; and veterans are more so.

    ALSO, with the NDAA being in effect, they don't NEED any "probable cause" anymore.

    BBean: Actually there are. They are called Federal Wildlife Officers.
