With the recent occurrences of shootings one can not simply cast their personal safety or that of their child off to the side. The whole, “it wont ever happen to me” mentality will get people killed. How often do you see these situations pop up on TV and see people taking cover anywhere they can and ultimately making themselves sitting ducks. With many places denying your right to carry there has to be something you can do right? There are better solutions to this, simply being complacent and hiding is no longer an option. Since you cant really got to the office in full kit send your child to school in a full plate carrier there are better options available.
Just how effective are these plates? We’ve tested them for ourselves and the results are surprising!
