It's a potential faceoff between bullets and thousands of hockey pucks at Oakland University.
The Auburn Hills university began equipping its faculty and some students with hockey pucks this month as a "last resort" precaution to throw at any active shooters on campus, officials say.
Gordon, a former youth hockey coach, said since the university has an ordinance against weapons, one attendee asked what staff and students could bring to prepare themselves for a fight. He recalled once being struck in the head with a puck and said it "caused a fair amount of damage to me."
Submitters note: If they have an ordinance against weapons, what is the worry? If you are throwing hockey pucks, wouldn't they be classified as "weapons"? |

| Between the Gun Free Zone signs and now this, Oakland University is sure to be the safest campus in the United States. |

They brought a hockey puck to a gun fight (against a criminal).
I am sure they will win against the criminal in court but posthumously |

There is a lot of difference between a hockey puck off a hockey stick and one thrown.
More stupidity from the gun hating liberals. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
