    Ok, i am going to throw a hocky puck at them to distract them. Yep it will it will now make me a target to shoot at. Like those who open carry, you are telling these shooters to shoot you first, since i'm the threat against you.

    You have to bank it off a wall so they think it came from a different direction. ;)

    Great...there will now be a rampage of guys in goalie equipment knocking off banks, liquor stores, etc.

    Rather than just throw them, you better carry a stick around, too. Don't be a guy who just says, "Yeah, I have a puck and will be able to use it when the time comes!" OWNING A PUCK WITHOUT TRAINING IS FOOLISH!!! YOU WILL BE HURT OR IT WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

    May I recommend different pucks for your self-defense needs:

    Weighted puck, 2/3 more mass than standard pucks, consider it the 44 mag of puckdom: https://www.icewarehouse.com/Sherwood_Weighted_Ice_Hockey_Puck_10_oz_Orange/descpage-IHWP.html

    Standard puck, like a 9mm: https://www.icewarehouse.com/Bauer_Standard_Ice_Hockey_Puck_6_oz/descpage-BIHP.html

    White puck, like a suppressor in winter months: https://www.icewarehouse.com/Sherwood_Goalie_Trainer_Ice_Hockey_Puck__6_oz_White/descpage-IHGP.html

    Foam pucks, no need for a range, practice throwing them at home: https://www.icewarehouse.com/Slick_Shinny_Foam_Hockey_Pucks_2-Pack/descpage-SLICKSHINNY.html

    Best yet, scatter 'em with mini pucks:

    I was having a dinner date with my 13yo daughter a few months ago. She asked me why I always sit facing the door. After telling her my responsibilities as a Dad and my job protecting my family we started talking about school safety. She told me what her school as told her and I told her WHAT I WANTED HER TO DO. I told her to talk to her friends. I said throw as much stuff at the shooter that you all can get your hand on. A well trained LEO or soldier would not be bothered by this I would think, but a idiot wielding a pistol or rifle hell bent on shooting would more than likely loose their train of thought and may even drop the weapon. I think if you can't have a pistol in the classroom to protect you and your students by all means use whatever they are willing to let you have. -Jason

    We don't need pucks like that, we don't live in Kandahar. What is a good puck equivalent to a .22?

    .
    After one of the shootings years back, someone suggested that each classroom gets a bucket of river rocks.
    Now we have evolved to hockey pucks.

    At this rate it will take 50+ years before they suggest using a gun to protect our kids. :(



    Have any of the shooting victims parents sued the schools for NOT protecting their kids yet?
