And only a fraction were "armed" ... like park rangers, the Postal Service, etc, the IRS has armed LEOs for the rare times they need to be the ones working with local or state officials to execute warrants in bad situations.
I thought the exemptions were on anything under $800USD. Called “de miimus”

But I can see that Sanborn, NY is not too far from the border for Bernard to cross over and use the USPS. I know that Pacific Western Rail Systems does that and they are in Surrey, BC, Canada.
It’s a lot cheaper to ship domestically in any case. I’ve done business with a model train company in BC but they ship from Washington state somewhere to US addresses and last summer I bought a smart garage door controller from a company in Canada but it shipped from a NY address. So it’s not just tariff avoidance.
The Cannon wheel will be about 14” diameter and hopefully in probably a year I will have a completed cannon
Good morning! It's 54°F with rain in Tipton

I'm 185 miles from Dallas area and miss having the convenience of going to Discount Model Trains. Last visit there was after the Plan Train Show a few months back.
Depends on if you want armed or unarmed.

Well howdy there internet peeps, and those with esteemed visitors to your layouts
I had a bunch of MRR notables show up today.
From left: NMRA Prez Gordy, Ron of Ron's Trains, Gerry Leone, David Popp, Lucy the much maligned- but doing a great job social media manager for the NMRA, Tony K, and the Minister of Silly Walks.
The squares on the grid are 1-inch. I always forget how small N Scale is at 1:160
And I was expecting Mini-Prints to sneak in before the Tariffs hit. Bernard has been posting that they're tariff free. Figured out how: He's got either shipping or manufacturing in NY. I was expecting Royal Canadian Mail, not USPS.

Trump's tariffs showcase his extraordinary presidential power — and its limitations
President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico took effect Tuesday. But actually collecting them is proving complicated.

Good evening everyone
Just sitting here enjoying all the reading from this great forum and listening to the wind blow outside (31mph with gusts up to 58mph). Might get some rain or snow but doubt it will amount to much.
Been a lazy day for me. Just been working on a couple of projects (see pictures) was cooking spareribs on the smoker for supper. Other than that been reading a few model magazines and checking in here now and then.
Ya'll have a great evening and keep dry, warm, and in my case grounded so I don't blow away

What, me worry?
Morning all,
As kgstakes said last night, listening to the winds blow and hearing the fence loose a couple of sections overnight. I'm about 55 miles east of him and while I saw some snow about 8:00 last night, it amounted to "Snow?...What snow?" it was 36° as it was coming down.
Currently 35° and clearing, still under a high wind warning for the next couple of hours.
I've noticed we're getting busier in the IT department and today will be starting off in a bit as I have to meet with county personnel to do some reconfiguration of "lights and tones" at our #2 fire station. "Lights and tones" for the non firefighter is the station alerting system that notifies the particular station it is being called out. It turns on the station lights if they're off and sounds tones to waken the firefighters. We're moving the system from the local cable provider (county system) to our fiber network. The cable company has experienced numerous outages over the past few months (never mind their ads touting reliable internet), and the firefighters are getting tired of staying up all night.

Good afternoon all. A cloudy day with a breeze blowing.
A bowl of Soup of the Day and Bread Roll please, Flo.
After a busy morning around the house, lunch to have then youngest grandson visiting after school.
