Can vs Gun
We've heard some dumb things over the years, but this is one of the dumbest:
- A middle school principal in eastern Alabama wants to stockpile cans of food such as corn and peas in classrooms so that students could hurl them as weapons in a last-resort confrontation with a school intruder.
In a letter Friday, W.F. Burns Middle School Principal Priscella Holley asked parents to have each student bring an 8-ounce canned item.
"We realize at first this may seem odd; however, it is a practice that would catch an intruder off guard," she wrote in the letter, published by CBS affiliate WHNT in Huntsville.
"The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive," Holley wrote. "The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves and will make them feel secure in case an intruder enters their classroom."
Maybe they could have a sock drive later? You put the cans in the socks and you have a pretty effective flail-weapon. Or how about a "padlock and shoelaces" drive? We've seen that very weapon in the hands of too many high school offenders to count. Or how about hire an off-duty copper to patrol inside, check doors, check IDs of persons entering and maybe interacting with the kids to give them a positive experience in dealing with law enforcement? Does that make too much sense?

Intruders!
Sheee-it! Some good ol' boys in Alabama with some axe handles could do jus as good if not better.
Probably most of the teachers have Easy Rider Rifle Racks on the back window of their pick-up truck.
"..."The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive," Holley wrote. "The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves and will make them feel secure in case an intruder enters their classroom."...."
Stun or knock out an intruder? How many fourth graders are hitting 90mph on the radar gun? And this person is an educator? I weep for the future.
Ban canned foods
How about letting some of the teachers and staff with Carry Permits to carry inside the school too?
anyone heard of the defense... "he threw the can, and it hit my hand making the gun go off."
"The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive," Holley wrote. "The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves and will make them feel secure in case an intruder enters their classroom."
How many teachers will be injured when one of the empowered little darlings throws a tantrum and a few cans?
They'd be safer if the teachers had something to open the windows and a ladder to allow the students to escape.
Banana peels and marbles
How about a good guy with a gun?
Naah, never work. Wait for the police to show up with their bright flashing lights instead. After all the lights are what stop the shooter, not the police officer's gun.
You didn't find this article in The Onion did you?
How about we stop pussy footing around and just allow teachers, administrators, and staff to get the appropriate training, and carry concealed firearms upon their persons in schools?
Then there's between 0 and whatever number of staff you have in the building that can be armed. Instead of one target (aka cop) floating around the campus.
Anyone stupid enough to try to pull some shit - turned into swiss cheese before he gets to shoot anyone.
And if they're not stupid enough, then they'll go to some other Gun Free Zone (just like that Colorado headcase that picked the theater he did precisely BECAUSE it banned firearms)...
Lots of States have done this - few if any problems. And what they had, were handled w/o any loss of life to students...
But Archie, it was a can of peaches, in heavy syrup.

It would be funny if this idiot wasn't serious, what a really stupid idea. They better keep an eye on her. It qualifies for Floriduh dumb. I guess they are suppose to keep the can with them at all times, just in case of an enemy attack.
Yes, it is dumb, but it's also dumb that there are "gun free zone" signs everywhere at Illinois schools without any security guards with guns at said schools.
I wonder if they are doing this to draw attention to how our kids everywhere are sitting ducks in schools. Better a can of peas than nothing
Is there still a lot of mercury and lead in canned tuna? Might be better suited than corn or beans...
Never bring a can to a gun fight.
Brings a new dimension to the time honored tradition of "Food Fight!". Could prove to be quite entertaining.
The Principal must have worked for Governor Quinn at one time!
Just post one of those "No Guns Allowed" signs on the school's entrance door
Someone should explain to the principal that Home Alone was a fictional movie and it had stunt coordinators and stuff.
This is crazy. Time for the adults to step in and right the ship.
the diseased liberal mind at work....
The only thing that ever stopped a bad guy with a can is a good guy with a can.......
Another great idea, as said in other posts hire a copper,pay for an extra patrolman at your school,wait a minute why pay? The ghetto community's (read non taxpayers) get overtime paid coppers,lots of them wouldn't it a nice concept if the people that actually help with our salaries stood up and demanded the same amount orf protection in their communities that lets say englewood gets? Would be nice to see the law abiding finally rise up!
Watched the France protests every time a copper came by the crowd erupted in applause, unlike here with the political establishment anti_police sentiment fueled by the liberal media! Bratton and the mayor have to understand the old adage "a fish stinks from the head down!"
if thats the case poisoned ninja throwing stars would work too..
Maybe if you throw a can of beans at them, they'll shit their pants and retreat.
I agree, if this article is not from the Onion...it should be.
Anti-gun Rham is on board for this tactic. He's already come up with a pet name for the project. He's calling it the,'DelMonte Diversion.'
Perhaps they could put a potato gun in each classroom, hurl that spud at the shooter.......Roll Tide Roll
"Gun Free Zone" stickers
Like police
You don't know how many crimes they prevent, but you know how many they don't
You could distract them by spraying silly string in their faces. It would be like a party! /sarc

Bet I can split your skull in two with a canned ham before you could draw your weapon.
If you're up for a friendly wager, meet you @ any Area Range, anytime.
At least they are teaching the kids how not to be a victim. Fight back and you may live.
Try the Monty Python method: "If anyone ever attacks you with a raspberry, just pull the lever and the 16-ton weight will fall on top of him."
When canned food is outlawed...
...only outlaws will have canned food.
It's a setup for a scene for the next JACKASS movie or an old Our Gang Comedy. Students repel intruder with food cans launched with a set of grandpa's suspenders.
"Let 'er rip Spanky!"

Can you make this into a post
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2911649/LAPD-unimpressed-video-pranksters-admitting-coke-car-actually-turns-cans-Coca-Cola.html
Dangerous game and it is being recorded to post on social media
Yes we can.
check id's???
scc are you serious???
that's racist!
common sense would dictate that we limit only 10 cans to a case.
who needs more than 10 cans?????
It is a moderate improvement over just dying.
The absolute stupidity of Bolshevik libtards knows no bounds. And these morons are "edumacating" lawful, legally-born American young 'uns. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so frighteningly serious and all too real.
Simple solution: hire teachers that not only KNOW their subjects (screw Common Core), but hire teachers with a love of the Constitution--specifically, the Second Amendment. When a bad guy tries a Patrick Purdy, what do you do? Apply a tried and true trick from Inspector Callahan's Playbook in THE ENFORCER: "Bang! Dead." Problem solved.
As for the children: how about lessons in arithmetic, reading comprehension, history, composition, and...dare I utter it...civics classes which used to teach government and the U.S. Constitution?!
Libtardism is truly a mental illness.

Wait until perpetrator contracts tetanus from the injury. Cruel and unusual punishment? May not be such a bright idea after the six figure civil suit payday for injuries sustained during the commission of a felony. Punish the taxpayers with the added cost of the legal services for civil remedies by the righteous justice seeking attorneys. What ever happened to conflict resolution non violent techniques? All the school authorities have to do stop the violence and follow the concept of Procedural Justice by:
1) Giving the perpetrator a voice
2) Exercising neutrality in critical decision making
3) Demonstrating respectful treatment
4) Demonstrating trustworthiness.
This stuff works every time it is practiced. The gang violence reduction strategy (GRVS) says so. Know thy General Orders and get the message out.
As a concealed carry holder, I've been carrying Campbell's Chicken Noodle for quite some time in a Comp-Tac IWB rig. The only question I have is what has better expansion and penetration: Regular or Chunky?
As an administrator of an inner city food pantry, I am appalled by can of foods which could provide sustenance in this depression era like obama economy. The cans of food can supplement the poor who have not received an increase in programs such as LINK, SNAP and WIC in years. Pregnant baby mamas with infants from numerous different baby daddies would best be served so hungry babies would not eat those lead-based paint chips in those substandard 100% subsidized really affordable housing.
Maybe a federally funded program such as Safe Passage is the answer. Chaperones attired in bright green safety vests posted on the perimeter at the educational institutions with accompanying fluorescent green “safe passage” signs, “gun free” zones signs, “don’t shoot I want to grow up” signs and the ultimate fear instilling “The FBI investigates all school crimes” signs are an absolute deterrent to workplace violence in the classroom. Me still thinks the good ‘ole boys know how to administer justice on the spot with a strong deterrence message for copycats. The good ‘ole boys take care of business without those long drawn out budget busting “justice” courtroom trials.
Homer Simpson suggests swinging a sack of doorknobs
will they be cans of whoopass?
fire extinguisher... discharge it in the suspects face.
then beat him to death with it.
If confronted by someone with a gun, you should make yourself vomit and or piss/shit in your pants...
Don't laugh!
Didn't some liberal rattle-mind propose that winning strategy a couple of years ago?
Fucking ninnies...
It ain't the gun so much as the ignorant, mind-locked m/fer waving it around.
Tell you liberal collectivists what...
You AND your loved ones can go ahead and curl up in the fetal position to be devoured ass first.
Keep your gun snatchers to yourselves and stop bothering the rest of us who are ok with fighting for/defending ourselves, our families and our ideals.
Or are you afraid that when "IT" happens, you won't have the rest of everybody else to hide behind and fight FOR you?
>Sound of the fucking jig being up<
Oh no muthafuckahs...
We'd love to see you assholes being poked from under your beds at bayonet point and dangled over the fort walls at the end of some stout hemp.
Normally you'd be forced to man a firing position but you fuckers will try to open the gate as we're being overrun...
Progressives, Liberals and Collectivists are traitors of the republic.
Don't know about across a room but a can of creamed corn flung out of an upper floor window in Rockwell, Horner, Cabrini or ABLA could do some serious damage...
Why not ask them to bring a handful of rocks?
As I said, in some countries they keep a loaded Uzi in the kneehole of the desk by the front door. Probably a loaded .38 S&W Webley revolver in the drawer, too. Not fit for much than a very small war anymore, but a war in the hallway it will help fight, believe you me.
What do they know?
Oh. "Children will not carry the cans around with them." That means storage cabinet. That means lock, so staff doesn't augment diet. That means key no one will be able to find except night cleaning crew...all members of which will have access...
Or how about hire an off-duty copper to patrol inside, check doors, check IDs of persons entering and maybe interacting with the kids to give them a positive experience in dealing with law enforcement? Does that make too much sense?
---------------
Nope, doesn't make too much sense, costs $$$$ instead. This way, each kid is in for 89 cents - the school has no skin in the game. Unfunded mandate.
At the end of the year, the school administrators can get their mugs on TV for 'the school' donating 489 cans to a local food pantry.
Personally, lug nuts and 'D' batteries are my weapons of choice.
A 6-Pak of Bud would be nice, although I doubt if empty cans would stop an offender.
A sack of handle-less hammers?
A dress sock with three golf balls in it?
An 18" length of garden hose filled with wet sand and plugged at one end with a 1in. hex nut and an old iron door knob pop riveted to the business end?
An aluminum ball bat filled with cement?
A cut down boat oar?
A sledge hammer handle?
A barber strap?
An Old Chicago house brick in each hand and a pair of steel toed, hard soled shit-kickers?
Window sash weights with the chains still attached?
Lol!
So much goonery
and so little time to commit it...
Personal favorite is a big frame, stout loaded .45 Colt or .44 Special revolver loaded with heavy for caliber Keith slugs.
Be sure of your "backstop" because these loads penetrate like a mofo but you might score two (or more) shitheads for the price of one big heavy bullet.
>BOOM!<
A couple or three m/fers fall down... One or two MIGHT crawl away and one might die in the bushes but the asshole in front is very likely done for...
"AAIIEEE!
Dafuk kinda gun is THAT?"
Better than trying to catch them standing still so you can swat them with something...
Big bore revolvers have been used to plant big, mean and ugly 2 and 4 legged critters for 150 years now.
Oh, come on.... you KNOW that Michelle Obama would only approve fresh vegetables to throw at an attacker. Looks like celery sticks and broccoli stalks. GOOD LUCK KIDS !
Thinking of "dumb ideas", how's it going with the changing of city stickers in the Nasty cold we had?
Just another wonderful idea like reinventing the wheel.
Changing the expiration date to the numbing cold months from the warm summer months. What a brainiac!!!
Why were the dates changed to June/July in the first place? Global warming?
That lone, mate-less size 16 flip-flop at the dollah sto'?

Weren't the Thompson/Lagarde tests conducted about 1903, just to make sure of the hypothesis?

..when she's not chowing down at the most expensive retaurant in Hawaii..
Anyway, "Looks like celery sticks and broccoli stalks. GOOD LUCK KIDS !"
Yeah, heavily armed psychopaths need their daily fiber too.

Yes.
But Ol' Elmer Keith was just a pup so his pet idea of heavy, hard cast lead alloy bullets with a flat head, sharp shoulders and driven at vigorous velocity (1000 to 1200 fps) hadn't caught on at that time.
Yeah... There were heavy round nose and conicals being launched but...
These are salad days for the big bore afficianado.
Got a few boxes of 325gr. .45 L/C for boar hunting and maybe repelling vehicle borne urban bandits... Especially those stupid enough to still be in the vehicle and presenting a broadside shot through the doors...
>BOOM! - CLANG!<
"EEEK! No fair!"

Yes but they already had the experiences of the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Indian Wars and the Spanish American War (doped-up Moros in the Phillipines soaking up the new Colt .38's right when the Army was trying to transition from the .45) and witness accounts to prove the effectiveness of the big bore.
Why don't they just "duck and cover" ?
That works for nuclear attacks,right?
De Blasio would want to be sure that all of the canned food was LOW SALT, LOW SUGAR and LOW FAT.

Yeah.. but Smith and Wesson just came out with a new .460 MAGNUM Revolver. And there is a .50 Caliber conversion kit available for the 20 or 21. Talk about BIG BOOMERS.
