On Campus, Grenade Launchers, M-16s, and Armored Vehicles

The Chronicle of Higher Education — Should the campus police at the University of Central Florida ever need a modified grenade launcher, one sits waiting in the department's armory. Retooled to fire tear-gas canisters, the weapon was used several years ago for training purposes, according to Richard Beary, the university's chief of police. It hasn't left storage since. At Central Florida, which has an enrollment of nearly 60,000 and a Division I football team, the device was acquired, a police spokeswoman said, for "security and crowd control." But the university's police force isn't the only one to have come upon a grenade launcher.
