Shooting news comment: "Solution? Carry a smallish tire iron, and practice throwing it in a safe place. If every citizen had one of these..."

...then there might be injuries, but any gunman would be inundated by these, and brought down pronto. It's not too hard to imagine the weapons being knocked free of the hands of even the most armored suspect, under a hailstorm of tire irons."

Still firmly on the 'more harm than good' side, but I'm still sort of intrigued. "knocking the weapon out of the hand" of a perp is far-fetched at best, but...

Dammit, there's just something compelling about a flurry of handthrown tire irons.
