South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

yup, resistant. the rifle caliber ones are pricey and can he heavy, am searching for the right one.........

 

Dammit, now I am thinking about it, too.

 

I wish yall were closer to me so I could actually show you how the virtual works......it is not as awful as some make it sound and at least I don't have to worry about this crazy shit........bc I would for sure be going to jail over someone even pranking that shit

 

5.11 and under armor have a few nice ones. That's sad we got look for nice shielded bags for our kids I agree.

Yep. He already carries a 5.11 rush 24 pack, so will look for the complementary one for that size pack.........

 

Let me know what you find. I have always liked 5.11 stuff, but finding a backpack that fits a 6yo might be tough. I've got some kevlar panels I might be able to sow in his existing packpack.

 

Plenty of IIIA stuff, cheap, light, but only pistol rounds. I have noticed the rifle caliber ones, are 6+ lbs. still researching.......

With all do respect guys! How many kids we're shot in their back VS other areas?

 

Once you get above IIIA, the weight more than quadruples and you get into plates. If you wanna stop 5.56, you gotta go to at least III. Can you justify a kid carrying that around? What are the chances they'll have access to the backpack when all hell break loose? What percentage are shot in the back in these scenarios?

 

Agree!

 

Sad that the location of a potential hit to a body even has to be discussed ick.........

 

Sad that it has to cross my mind that I should be giving my plates to my 6yo.

 

Yeah, agree not many shot in the back. But......during active shooter drills, they have everyone huddle up in the corner, away from the door. hide behind your pack, hold it in front of you. no lockers these days, backpack always with the kid.

 

So sitting around waiting to have BFG KO2s put on.

 

yeah, the thought crossed my mind a week ago, and have been seriously contemplating this ever since. cheap insurance should anything ever happen, and likely it never will, but, you never know. And it may not protect him should the situation arise, but I would like to think I gave him the best chance I could give him to make it. This latest one hit me hard, having lived in that same community years ago, and having a kid, who would have been in 9th grade in that same school if we still lived there.

 

Tell her it's more room for the family and still made in Japan
