You guys are paranoid. LOL
A client of mine got the alarm bell rung by a d-bag IRS agent. IRS Police didn't show up.
The FBI did. In a panel van.
Like AR's and body armor and face masks and the works. They had it cleared up in about 15 min and the "agent" was pretty much fired the same day for being a complete tool to the client in the first place.
As much as I hate the IRS - and I hate them for 30,000 more reasons than you do - I'm not real worried about them getting weaponized. Would you want to go into someone's office to ask for records and NOT be armed???? Just some backwater bar or whatever?? Same reason we don't want civilian workers wandering in and seeing if inner-city tools "need help" unarmed, SOME IRS agents NEED to be armed - in case someone starts blastin.
(TBH - the biggest problem in the IRS is the fact that they are unionized federal workers. This means they can do 1/3 hte work and complain 3x as much. I'm not sure all of them are back in the office from Covid. It's 3 years later. Get your sorry asses in teh office, work a full shift and ANSWER THE GD PHONE!)
