Border Patrol’s Purple shell casings

[HCM]

Weapon and ammo inspections are done monthly by our Sergeants assisted by a firearms instructor if one is available.
I have lost count, over three decades, of the number of duty magazines containing any number of practice FMJ rounds.
We even had one transplanted LE part time retiree bailiff “dutch load” his two spare .40 mags with alternating Ranger T service rounds and FMJ practice ammo. He stated that that “was the way we did it at home”. That was swiftly corrected and he left our Office soon thereafter.

Y'all have some time on your hands. We can barely do yearly weapons inspections.

Candy caning ammo in magazines is old school derp.

It is a lot easier to do them when 90% of your sworn staff work in courts/jails and it can be done during briefing. Don't get me started on the current lack of yearly armorer's inspections. This is being rectified, albeit slowly, as we speak. We have had some positive changes in our Command Staff that have finally recognized our many shortcomings and things are slowly on the mend, thank God.
