Torolol Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 the school just being cheapskate, they should employ some professional highly-trained armed personels instead. And there you go, you can have the gun-free-zones guarded by gun-tottering groups. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted January 13, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted January 13, 2015 At the end of the school year, the cans will be donated to the food closet. That seems unnecessary. Surely a metal can, as a projectile, has a substantial shelf life and can be relied upon for many years?

DocM Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 W-T-F.... Brain dead PC idiots, one and all. Install security doors and either train/arm volunteer staffers or hire armed guards. Tin cans ain't gonna cut it unless you fill them with concrete, load 'em into a black powder cannon and blow incoming vehicles in the driveway. psmoked, Torolol, remixedcat and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted January 13, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 13, 2015 yeah, a bunch of kids going to throw cans at armed and possibly armored guy, as they are about to get shot.... yeah idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I guess no one has been hit with a canned food item. Even condensed milk can hurt/knock someone out. Or distract them/hurt them enough for someone to do something else. Yea, seems odd but unfortunately this is what things have come to these days.

+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted January 13, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted January 13, 2015 Even condensed milk can hurt/knock someone out. Or distract them/hurt them enough for someone to do something else. hit with can, thrown by kid VS getting SHOT? lol Guess you never being shot!!! ... the point is: you don't need to be hit with it to understand what inadequate solution it is. yes, it can hurt, and with EXACT hit on the head, can possibly knock someone out, but what are the chances of an armed gunmen entering classroom shooting, that the kids will have the skills and courage to aim against bullets? i would not want to be in that classroom, and i certainly would not feel safe against a gunman, armed with 100 cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 hit with can thrown by kid, was getting SHOT? lol yes, it can hurt, but what are the chances of an armed gunmen entering classroom shooting, that the kids will have the skills and courage to aim against bullets? i would not want to be in that classroom, and i certainly would not feel safe against a gunman. Think of it this way. A gunman cannot see around him 360 degrees. Someone could get a shot of depending on the situation. And its not necessarily in a classroom. Could be a hallway, could be when the gunman in reloading. And a lot of kids can throw, hard. And may not knock them out, just distract them long enough for an adult to do something. I admit, it is odd...really odd...but those things can hurt. Just because they are kids, dont mean they are cowards. A lot of kids have done some pretty amazing things. And I am speaking from somone who has been kit with canned goods before. Younger brother and I used to get in to it a lot as kids. It hurts, like hell.

Torolol Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 if the school insist with this idea, they'll also need to train the kids on how to hurl their cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, the good old days trouble with that is, the gunman could, out of reflex, pull the trigger if not reloading, I think I'd prefer the better security doors and windows, as opposed to the hallway scene from High School High Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A can of peas cost 29 cents. A gunman is going ot kill someone most likely regardless of what preventative measures are taken...most likely. Personally, I am for arming and training the teachers/staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Raze Subscriber² Posted January 13, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted January 13, 2015 On the curriculum this school year - Can Defense 101. We will be taking students out to the local gun range to teach them the fine art of self defense that employs the proven method of using canned vegetables. Students will learn how to properly hold, aim and throw a can at an assailant. They will also learn how to handle these potentially deadly objects safely. Please remember only 8 ounce cans will be permitted, after all we don't want to appear too over the top or excessive/aggressive. And remember - NEVER POINT A CAN AT ANYONE! This is a serious business and horse play of any kind will result in your can be confiscated. +E.Worm Jimmy and webeagle12 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you know, address the source of the problem - lunatics with access to firearms. But I suppose turning schools into prisons is the next best thing.

David R Jenkins Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 So, if a student brings an "unregistered" can of food to school I presume he/she will be suspended or expelled for bringing a weapon onto school grounds.

Now you have no can and he still has a gun and is now even more upset. Now what? psmoked 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 OK...... so you throw the can, hit and hurt the gunman. Now you have no can and he still has a gun and is now even more upset. Now what? Its about distracting them. You have multiple people doing it at once, then there is chance an adult can do something. Depending on where you hit someone, can do more than hurt hurt them. I said the idea was strange to begin with. Just playing devils advocate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
