Yes … what if the gunman targets a girl…who throws like a girl?

A thrown hockey puck must be a head shot. A body shot to a big guy will only piss him off. He’ll give you extra bullets.

Circular saw blades from shop class would be better.

The important part is we won the argument that they need to have defensive weapons.

This will be settled as soon as the NRA gets one teacher to fill suit for being deprived of their 2nd amendment rights.

Many of the school-shooting persons are wearing body armor now.

That hard piece of rubber hurts if it is thrown accurately...

Practice. Practice. Practice.

If you have a gun and the school shooter doesn’t go down aim below the belt. A leg shot will bring down almost anyone. Once down brain him.

Amazingly, many here don’t think this is a joke.

I’ve recently moved out of that area in Michigan. Nope! It’s not a joke. It fits right in with the territory, which is a joke.

No projectiles, just call him a hockey puck.

The problem is, you’ll need a bunch of them. I think Mr. shooter could likely withstand the initial volley if the class only had one each.

What finally brought down the North Hollywood bank robbers equipped with AK 47s and body armor were leg shots from under cars they were hiding behind. One was killed by cops the other self inflicted after having his legs shot out from under him.

>>A bunch of cue balls would be better.

Can’t have cue balls anymore. They were made of ivory and have to now be destroyed.

A hockey puck was a "spur-of-the-moment idea that seemed to have some merit to it and it kind of caught on," Gordon said.

...based on no evidence

I didn’t know that. It’s very interesting, although I hope I’ll never have to make use of this knowledge.

Is this school in the same district that put a basket of rocks in each classroom?
