Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 There's other Rangers too. At least back in the day. I think they've been absorbed by the Game Wardens now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ever notice the cops these days is fatter than they used to be? Now, take a gander at that fine young example of stalwart Florida lawman. Hangin' on the belt around that 22" waist is a gun and some ammo, a set of handcuffs and a stick. That's all he's got, 'cause that's all there's room for. Today, though, you gotta add a TaSER, an aerosol deterrent (mace or pepper spray, your choice), a pouch for your rubber gloves, a radio... Today's cop's gotta have at least a 36" waist, just to have room to carry all the crap he has on his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was from mostly flyin a desk for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Back then a vest wasn't required because you were too skinny to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
