Body Armor for Xmas

[Scarywoody]

I had a meeting with someone from the local Islamic Center who wanted to use my professional services (I only met out of courtesy, no way in hell I'd work for them). I would swear he was wearing body armor. His shirt had a "bump" to it where a protective vest would be. Very weird.

So it may not be as odd as we think...

I did a search prior to posting and read your experience with that "project".

Don't really like talking about stuff like this on the internet.
But you guys are sort of like family to me.
For home defense, throwing on a vest seems like a fine idea.

A bullet proof vest? A suicide vest? do they look anything alike under clothes?

I only have a brick façade in the front and the rest of the house is HardiPlank that won't stop anything, so body armor would be nice, but I just can't afford any at the moment.

In a SHTF situation, we would be screwed defense-wise, anyhow. The NS Mayport and container-handling port facility areas are sure to be a prime targets.

We'll have enough food and water until we're overwhelmed. I know that there will be a lot of ammo left... besides the piles of empty brass!

IF we had the money, I would go much further west and away from large cities.

That's why my wife and I purchased property up nort in the boonies. I'd like to live out the rest of my life in peace, without having to burden my mind with the worries in the city.

It's a nice dream.
But sometimes anywhere, anytime, when you least expect it - trouble comes to call.
Being ready all the time is just how I live.
Maybe that's just me?

Excellent question - some kind of bullet proof vest, not a suicide vest.

It looked like a really really really thick undershirt, whatever it was.

I realize that but......................................up nort, there lives my neighbors, and many many gun lovers who will back me up, unlike the spineless liberals who surround me in the city. They walk around in a daze, and truly believe that nothing bad will ever happen to them. Maybe? Silly fools...........

[wyntrout]

Yep... they want to leave guns to the "professionals"... military overseas, law enforcement, government, and criminals.

These have become popular in the gun-free school zones.

I had read up and considered a briefcase plate system.

When I do go in to Atlanta, Glock 19 or 23 and two spare mags.

Is that really enough "throw weight" for Atlanta?

Well, according to what I see on TV, zombies will be walkin' all around your backwoods place.

We're already prepared for em.................no one has less than 3 acres, and right behind me, is 80 acres of wilderness to go into.
