    In what scenario/locale are you wearing a ballistic vest? I can’t imagine choosing to go somewhere the threat level was so high I felt the need.

    "Take him to Detroit''......................

    Or Flint for that matter.

    And some people don't rely on the cops for every odd noise in the dark. However, taking 5 seconds to toss on a good vest isn't stupid, it should part of your home protection package of both offense AND defense.

    And absolutely no way in heck am I saying people should aspire to be some rambo character, but neither should they be pee wee herman either. If stuck in some Antifa mess [which WILL happen again this year in places, it's already starting] wouldn't you rather have any kind of protection no matter what it is? [besides the 4000 lb rolling cage you should know how to use if you life depended on it]

    I'll add this, if I go to my grave without ever again having to test either my offensive or defensive items, I'll be a very happy man indeed and will consider it a win.

    Cheap stuff then and probably not true lexan but a cheaper cousin. However, none of the stuff I shot held up well for multiple shots, it always cracked and split to the edge which was not in a frame.

    It's amazing how stirred up people get by someone talking about actual features in legitimate armored personal vehicles..it not my fault that so many people are so out of touch with the protection service industry..each feature with the exception of security film has been done for decades..features such as electric door handles, smoke screens, flame throwers, bio chem filters, nail droppers , oil sprayers, on broad Ox tanks, air bag deletes are common options.. and once again there's zero expectations to stop long gun rds, rpgs etc..but a pistol rd sure.. I guess most of the naysayers skipped those details as well as the 3rd gen Tacoma is a hobby and test vehicle while the Tundra is sorted out or the 4th gen Tacoma is here.. it really poses a challenge to speak with people with such a low comprehension level.. similar trolls freaked out when I inquired about adding a trailer hitch to a 2.7L model to tow a lightweight trailer..lol I guess this is the SOP around here..take everything way, way out of text and troll out for days.. LOL..

    You’ve been watching too many 1960’s James Bond movies. Oil sprayers and Smoke screens??? Lmfao

    I would like you to do all this, then maybe you get shot in the face …..

    Lol..the oil sprayers are worthless but the smoke screen is very useful..tailgaters pull way back when they can't see anything in front of them.. also a single circle or donut in a parking lot during daytime with the smoke screen makes your vehicle completely disappear from site for several minutes..its a easy mod for any vehicle..Cheers..

    You’re full of shit. None of that crap is legal. You try to “smoke screen” me on the highway I’ll send you for a spin into the concrete median at 70mph and the bulletproof glass isn’t gonna help your broken neck.

    Lol..yeah okay bud..you have any more wet dreams you like to share with the group?
    Nobody said a smoke screen was legal..nor would I recommend anyone from using one in an abusive manner..as it would cause serious problems on a crowded highway if used for extended use..Just because someone could do something doesn't mean they should do something..perhaps your parents can explain that when they tuck you in tonight little buddy..
