BUt this issue should have been raised before the resorts got them in the first place, right?

Of course this should have been considered, but who are we kidding, if the sharpest pencils in the box were in charge we wouldn't be in the soup we're in.
Plus remember on September 10 2001 the biggest news story was Gary Condit and we were all smug and secure and self absorbed.

And to be honest they're probably correct in thinking Ski Patrol should not be the last line of defense if someone wants to make off with a big boom stick.

I think its more of a Homeland Security descision. Imagine if one of those guns mysteriosly disappeared? I'm sure those could do alot of damage to buildings or a nuclear installation.

PAHHLEEEZZE!!!
First they would have to retrieve one. No mean feat without a very large ATV or Cat.
Second they need a trained artillary operator.
Third they would need 105mm ammo. Break into any armories lately?
Fourth, they have to hide it when not in use. They are LARGE!

Nobody is manufacturing Howitzers these days, too low tech. High tech is where the military dollar goes, certainly it's not spent on soldiers salaries!!!
