They have investigators?
Did you know that investigators at the library of congress carried guns? Well, they used to but Congress stripped them of that.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Their weapons are suppressed, obviously.

I had no idea. I guess I assumed DC’s ridiculously restrictive regulations kept LoC personnel disarmed except at home. Also didn’t know they had their own Investigators. That’s hard-core! I wonder if the investigators have to have an MLS (Master of Library Science) or are they experienced LEOs or what…

Hey, they could get attacked by a clone of Jean Henri Fabre and a giant mechanical grasshopper. If we don’t give them guns, how are they going to hold out long enough for the Special Operations Division of the British Library can get there?

I read somewhere, I think at Radley Balko’s, that something like 400 (IIRC) different federal agencies have armed employees. And yes, a huge number of them were just as ridiculous as the Library of Congress.
