Saw this on the nightly news. Although the "news" did not indicate what the victim was supposed to do with the puck, I have to assume throwing is involved. In that case most victims may need more than a single puck.
Maybe they should pass out clay pigeons instead. They are cheaper than hockey pucks.
The students could be instructed that if they are confronted with a crazy gunman, they should toss the clay pigeon into the air. The shooter would follow his natural instinct and shoot the disk, there by expending his ammunition and providing the necessary time to escape. Because as we all know, mass murderers are nothing more than sport shooters who are having a bad day.
Step one: Take off shoes Step two: Take off socks Step three: Put one puck in each sock Step four: Beat the snot out of the guy that will let you carry a hockey puck but not protect yourself by legal means.
Hockey pucks are now banned as they can be used as a lethal weapon. They are still ruling on the socks. But from my observation most of the students wont have the socks to worry about.
Ok enough making fun of them. Sock weapons can be very effective. Drop a couple D batteries in a sock and what ever you hit with it will feel it for a long time. Perhaps I will write a letter and explain the greater benefits of including and extra sock in the program. Do you think they will just beat each other to death testing it?
