How does this not count???
Where did these officers learn firearms handling?
'Never place your finger on the trigger until you are sure you have a good sight picture and are aware of your backstop.'

I guess he wanted to blow his toes off and felt the sidewalk was a safe backstop?

...And the Campus cops aren't authorized to carry firearms?

Most Campus PD in CT are actually state cops, and do carry guns. Atleast at Central, western, and Uconn they do

Yes, I know about Public Safety officers, but I read that that is not the case at Manchester.

So much as you can believe anything written...

Ok, my wife is home and safe.

The "security" is apparently state police, however when this incident happened they ran to their cars to get the vests and guns.

Wow, I need to check into this. I was chained to the desk all day, but two of our recruiters saw emergency vehicles hauling *** to MCC for whatever it was.

The MCC police are police officers employed by the state, but they aren't the same as the State Police. One of them is a bona fide nutjob, but the rest I've met seem pretty cool. The lady in charge of them is a civilian who was on the Manchester PD for 28 years and was in the military before that. She bought me a cup of coffee last time I was there, they are great folks.
