Seriously? They Really Have Them In Canada...

...or more to the point, Outside Canada

I was just looking on wikipedia, that great resource of mostly accurate information. Just as the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy is mostly reliable. And the people who find the Guide less than reliable are usually not able to correspond with the publishing house based in Ursa Minor... because they are suffering from terminal lack of oxygen or been eaten by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

Anyway, International Liason Officers are real!!!

The RCMP International Operations Branch assists the Liaison Officer (LO) Program to deter international crime relating to Canadian criminal laws. The IOB is a section of the International Policing, which is part of the RCMP Federal and International Operations Directorate. Thirty-five Liaison Officers are placed in 25 other countries and are responsible for organizing Canadian investigations in other countries, developing and maintaining the exchange of criminal intelligence, especially national security with other countries, to provide assistance in investigations that directly affect Canada, to coordinate and assist RCMP officers on foreign business and to represent the RCMP at international meetings...

I just thought that would be really interesting, now to find out if Mounties have guns in Canada, and more importantly, would Ray have a gun if he was a Mountie in Canada.

I think you'll find it's a S&W. I knew they carried guns (of course, I served them every day at Wendy's. How could I not notice the guns...) but I had to look up the model for my Nano story last year in which (I know no one is reading Naked Truth, but if you are, turn away. Here's a spoiler.) Meg is held hostage with her own gun.

::nodnods:: It was up until more recently a S&W .38. Now they carry 9mm, I believe, semi-automatics.
