Maybe they decided to use nondeadly force. Or is that undeadly force? I'm confused.

Undeadly force would be necromancy.
And this is a nothingburger. The deadly force clause always accompanies the requirement to carry a firearm. Most govvie job ads are laden with copypasta like this.

Sorry, I was slightly wrong. This isn't just a nothingburger. The article is also effective libertarian clickbait. -

Didn't know the IRS routinely carried guns.
I know they have stockpiled at least 5,000,000 rounds of ammo.

A friend of mine is a retired Special Agent who worked for HUD and for VA, investigating mostly white collar fraud cases, and he carried on the job.

It’s not so much that “the IRS routinely carries guns”. It’s that every federal department has its own enforcement arm.

Treasury? That's Secret Service, etc.
