Sounds dumb at first. But let's say the shooter enters a classroom and a class of 100+ (since this is college) and all of them just launch hockey pucks at him.

That would do some serious damage. They are heavier than a baseball.

So I guess everyone will just have to have them in hand already, just in case?

“Hang on, shooter, let me see where I put my hockey puck to throw at you.”




Then they come at him like:

Most of this population would cause more harm if everyone carried. Especially pimple

The plan is to pull out the puck and ask the shooter if they're up for a game?

That's no plan.

If this really happened, this is the stupidest goddamn thing ever.

Was it suppose to make them feel safe or something? Migrants throw rocks because it's the only thing they can find to use as a weapon.

I agree

We should just give 12 year olds glocks. It will be required for all students like a ti-83 and an iPad.

If someone comes out of no where with a gun I imagine the first instinct is to run away/get away from situation

Got to get a pretty good distance close to shooter to really get a good throw at him with the puck

Are those pucks registered? Are the puckers given background checks? Can a magazine hold 30 pucks? Are the pucker to be trained. Or will pucking without full knowledge of the damage a puck can do be allowed? Puck that!

Could the hockey puck be used to block the doors from being opened?

If I'm trapped in a classroom, I'm placing the puck to stop up the door, grabbing a chemical fire extinquisher or desk to hit the assailaint

A puck won't do anything. Purdue knows what's up, giant fricking clocks.



Crane operator was almost able to kill those 2 guys in one shot, just needs to work on his aim a little.

A desk?! Maybe in that kind of fast moving and fluid situation you should think lighter and more mobile, like a high-capacity tactical assault table.

I am 50/50 on this, sounds decent enough to have some kind of strategy..but, when something like that goes down, it is going to be fight or flight, most humans will choose flight in that case.. Is there going to be a code word of when to throw them ? I suspect the shooter would just have to dodge one at a time and then direct their attention to the throwers.
