"The first thing that came to my mind was a hockey puck. I was a hockey coach for my kids growing up. I remember getting hit in the head with a hockey puck once and it hurt," university police Chief Mark Gordon told Detroit's FOX 2.

Yea it did 'come to' his mind - and he is obviously still affected by it!

Well anything is better than nothing...

But with that said...It is always better to defend yourself with the best and most appropriate methods.
In most cases this methods :
Situational awareness...
Avoidance of the threat..
Being armed with a firearm and having the skill and willingness to use it , it needed.

So they decided a bucket of rocks in the corner would not be as effective as a bucket of hockey pucks in the corner. You do realize that the 'students' will slowly steal them all as a souvenir . Plus when you see that circle in a guys back pocket its not chew, he's carrying!

From what I have seen in the news of actual vids during shootings - NO ONE appears to have the 'presence of mind' to stand defiantly and throw ANYTHING - they are all fleeing for their lives!

Not so much probably. It's Michigan. BIG TIME hockey over there. They probably have pucks like we have bumbs, hobo's, homeless, stoners and beggars here. A puck's nothing special ,they're all over the place in Michigan.

Can't say I blame them. Stuck in a mass shooting event without my trusty HK. The only thing moving faster than my feet would be my bowels.

Gun free zones (like my workplace) drive me into a seething rage.

Seems Michigan"schools are oblivious to already being full of "hockey Pucks". It sounds like they have plans to stop an "active shooter" by throwing staff and students!

Perhaps they'll call it "The Rickles Method"?

...but starting out with a clue would be a bonus and bringing a hocky puck to a gun fight ain't it.

Think of the random puck attacks.

So... No weapons on campus however they are recommending using hockey pucks as weapons. I wonder how the hockey team is going to handle it when hockey pucks are banned on campus.

I know it is click bait ...

Michigan university gives professors hockey pucks to fight off shooters - The College Fix

A university [Oakland University] in Michigan is taking a novel approach to the threat of school shooters, outfitting its faculty with hockey pucks in order to protect against potential mass murderers armed with firearms.

The chief "recalled once being struck in the head with a puck and said it 'caused a fair amount of damage to me'."

"And if you fire two shots out of your double barreled shotgun into the air"........

*If all else fails...Just close your eyes and it will all go away.

I suppose when one throws a puck at an active shooter ... maybe "they" can yell PUCK YOU and make the shooter cry too ... 'cause, you know, hurt feelings and all.

 

[titsonritz]

The least they could do is provide the hokey stick, too.

 

[cigars]

Whatever happened to the simple, "Gun Free Zone" signs? Aren't they working anymore?

 

[Jcon268]

WHAT THE HELL? AT LEAST arm them with rubber bullets or something. Give them a hockey puck and and they have to think did I aim properly? ... or did I throw it hard enough to incapacitate the shooter? But seriously why would you ever think to use hockey pucks?
