Seems outlandish doesn't it but I suspect he may not be who he says he is. The IRS is buying shotguns, specifically:
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington
Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the
Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with
fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear
sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable
Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black forend, are designated as the only
shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS
existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and
protocol, maintenance, and parts.
So what does this have to do with Jackie? Well look at this reply to my Ask Jackie and Dunlap question!
Me: Mossberg 500 or Remington 870?
J&D: This sounds like a question a gun thief would ask. You ain't no gun
thief, are ya? Tryin' to size up what sorta guns I got in my house
and/or truck when you come around to do your thievin'? I don't believe
in tellin' gun thieves what sorts of guns I got until they're lookin'
straight down the barrel of my Remington 870, or my twenty year old
Mossberg 500 which I ain't never had no problems with but I understand
the newer ones don't hold up as good as they--
