Could They Do It Any Slower?
Canada to arm border guards.
So it's going to take a year and an half to train and arm 3% of their border guards. I presume they'll start with their best agents who only need to be taught proper firearm use. They could do this in a month and have nearly all agents ready to go in a year.
Apparently they don't feel any urget need to get anything done. I say put Inspector Fenwick of the Mounties on the case. It won't take long then.
Thanks to Of Arms and the Law.
The [Canadian] government plans to arm and train its 4,500 border agents over the next 10 years. [Prime Minister] Harper said some will be armed starting in September 2007 and about 150 will receive guns by the end of March 2008.
Officers abandoned their posts in British Columbia earlier this year when they were told that two murder suspects from California were headed their way, in an embarrassment to the former Liberal government. The men were apprehended by armed U.S. law enforcement officers.
