Dept. of Education places order for 27 short barrel shotguns

A spokesperson for the Department of Education says the guns are for use by officers with the agency�s Office of Inspector General. They have full federal law enforcement authority, and the IG�s office investigates �waste, fraud, abuse, and other criminal activity involving Federal education funds, programs, and operations.�
