Although, they have never used it, Sheriff's officials in Goshen County, WY are elated over owning a grenade launcher.

The sheriff's department say the launcher is a useful tool for keeping peace in the jailhouse, although they've never used it. The jail which houses 25 inmates has never had a major riot or a fight in the past year.

Deputies can use it to fire tear gas in a hostage situation. The office says it's likened to a pepper-spray or taser.  Must be a deterrent, seeing they have not had a major situation in the Goshen County, WY jail in 15 years. Guess it's better to be prepared.
