It sounds like a convinence store.\n\nActually, they are the revenuers that are talked about in shows about moonshine.  They are basically a tax agency with enforcement powers

that's called free enterprise and capitalism at its finest. alcohol, tobacco, and firearms are 3 things you could get busted for selling across state lines because of the tax and registration implications.

there are several methods employed by law enforcement to determine this which include: a B.A.C., blood alcohol concentration test, which is administered by blowing into a device, and the common blood test which examines the content of the actual blood

contact the BATF, but this differs from state to state...if you live in communis...sorry california and some new england states then there is a long list of illegal firearms and banned guns, but if you life in a relatively free state then the only weapons that are banned is anything fully auto and anything silenced, UNLESS you purchase permit and have it registered with the BATF...why do you ask?

Plot device.  It creates a nice little sub-plot if you can provide a mean old arrogant g-man as a foil to your hard-working, down-home beat cop.\n\nFrom what (admittedly little) I've read about the interaction of law enforcement agency, there really isn't a lot of competition between state and local law enforcement.  Usually, when the FBI is called in, both the police and the agents want as much cooperation between the two as possible, because bickering slows down the investigation.  Part of "getting along" requires good diplomacy, and everyone gets proper credit in the news.

depends on the type and country. thrown explosives or incendiary devices

You have to sell "X" amount of guns in a given time (I don't remember the amount offhand) provided by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) in order to keep your license legitamite. Also you may want to look at the NRA website for more info...hope this helps

As an FBI agent, you don't work in departments, and you probably will not investigate many homicides.  The FBI's number one priority is to prevent terrorism.  \n\nIn fact, here is the complete list of FBI priorities:\n\n1. Protect the United States from terrorist attack.\n2. Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage.\n3. Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes.\n4. Combat public corruption at all levels.\n5. Protect civil rights.\n6. Combat transnational and national criminal organizations and enterprises.\n7. Combat major white-collar crime.\n8. Combat significant violent crime.\n9. Support federal, state, county, municipal, and international partners.\n10. Upgrade technology to successfully perform the FBI's mission. \n\nSo, as you can see, investigating homicides is now number 8 on their priority list.  However, once an FBI agent, you will go to a field office where you will be assigned to a squad.  If your lucky, you could be assigned to a VCMO (Violent Crime/Major Offender) squad which investigates some homicides, bank robberies, and other violent type crimes.  Or, if you happen to be assigned to a field office that has Indian Reservations in its territory, you may end up working homicides on an Indian Reservation.\n\nSo, what does it take to become an FBI agent?

You have to go through a local background check and pay something like a two hundred dollar tax to the feds (which is a violation of the second amendment). \n\nYou may get a better answer at packing.org or at http://batf.gov

The unit where I work has an armory that contains riot conrol spray, a pepper fogger, guns, rifles, AR15's, lots of ammo, riot gear.\nThey keep weapons around in case of an escape and pepper foggers in case of a riot. They have extra weapons because they send groups of us to the range for training every few months and with the amount of people that work there someone is always at the range.\nWe have to qualify with a pistol, an AR-15, and a shotgun. Otherwise, we can't work there.\nThey are certain duty posts that require you carry a weapon and these must be checked in and out here every shift. Those include the guys that sit on horseback watching the inmates hoe the fields, the patrol vehicle, and the outside towers.\nThere is one person, usually a sergeant or lieutenant, that is assigned to the armory. Only he is issued the keys and he has a very important job of keeping track of everything.
