Went on and on about 18 year old student evicted from party for bad behavior (drunken) who went and obtained a firearm, came back and shot the security guard (non-fatal). Perp was later arrested and upon search of his apartment they found an "assault rifle" and another ".40 automatic handgun," but not the gun used in the shooting. Last paragraph in a somewhat length article stated that the student did not have a License to Carry a Handgun. I am very surprised given the political bent of our local paper that they did not attribute this to Campus Carry even though it really has absolutely NO relationship to the issue.
The shooter was not a UT student, he was applying to UT and wanted to join the frat, and the party was off campus.
Where can I get a .40 automatic handgun? Those sound cool.

Makes me wonder how much are they paying their cops? I suspect it's all being used to justify an increase in their budget. It's all about more money.
People are expensive. I don't know much about how cops' pay is traditionally structured, but back when I was involved in pricing professional help, the cost of a single employee was easily double his salary because of benefits and retirement plans. If they hired three full-time police officers plus a few licensed security guards, the $562K figure doesn't surprise me at all.[/quote]

Considering Obamacare's impact on health care costs, it's probably more than double the salary now. $526K for 5 total employees translates to an average paycheck of $52,600 assuming the 2X total cost, which sounds reasonable.
