Hockey Pucks to Fight Shooters on Campus
// Inside Higher Ed
Oakland University, in Michigan, is distributing hockey pucks to faculty members and some students for use against active shooters on campus, The Detroit News reported. The idea is that a puck is legal to carry, could cause real damage and be a distraction.

ReplyDeleteIf that's true, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard that didn't come from a politician's mouth. At least somewhere, Don Rickles is laughing.
ReplyDeleteOur campus police don't want us to carry firearms, since if there's a shooter, they may get confused and fire at us. I just know that if we carry hockey pucks, we're going to get fired at, just the same.

ReplyDeleteAlso, I am tempted to buy a case of hockey pucks so that I can throw them at my colleagues when they won't shut up.
