Pa. school district arms teachers, students with buckets of rocks in case of shooting

Dumb idea / spitballing here ...


We've all seen the cans of CS/OC with fire extinguisher valves, designed to hit across a room ...

Is it feasible to fasten one of these cans in a lockable, tamperproof frame, one per classroom, with keys issues to school personnel ? It's not a fair fight against am active shooter, but it might be more useful in facilitating escape than a bucket of rocks.

A regular fire extinguisher is a pretty effective option

That chemical stuff (mostly lime I think) is heck on the eyes

They should soak them in boilo, and keep a bic lighter with a lanyard on every bucket.

Nice idea, but the teachers are less likely to tap the CS at lunchtime.
