"AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Faculty members at Oakland University in suburban Detroit have received hockey pucks and are being trained to use them to potentially thwart active shooters.
WDIV-TV reports the American Association of University Professors distributed pucks to its 800 members.
University Police Chief Mark Gordon says to fight effectively, faculty and students need to be prepared to throw heavy objects that will cause a distraction. Gordon says pucks fit the bill and can conveniently be carried in brief cases or backpacks.
The faculty union also is working with student groups to distribute an additional 1,700 pucks to students."

Hockey pucks hurt when they hit unpadded body parts. I had one crack the toe cap on a skate once. Definitely would not want someone throwing them at me.

Using them as a means to stop a shooter is just plain stupid and will get you killed.

I got hit in the chin with one. 3 stiches in, 4 outer. They hurt couldn't imagine being hit by a lot since I wasn't a goalie.

Anyway if the are really serious they need to keep them in a freezer; extra hard!

This has merit if the shooter is a goalie. By nature he'll try and stop every puck and be so distracted by the utter elation of not being scored on he will forget why he even walked into the room.

For anyone else, the shooter will be more pissed off.

Have they seen most people try to throw anything? This is beyond stupid.

Exactly. Maybe one or two in ten will be able to generate enough velocity paired with accuracy.

More misguided leftist stupidity.

I'll take the free pucks. I can put them to much better use than the majority of these folks. I agree that probably the majority of the kids d teachers wouldn't even be able to effectively huck them at the shooter. The few that can, ost likely aren't going to incapacitate a shooter, just piss them off.

Just post a clone of Alexander Ovechkin at the door to every classroom. Simple solution. Can't believe you couldn't come up with it on your own.

The Red Wings are so bad that teachers throwing pucks would do better that the Wings have been doing shooting them.
