It just doesn't cover as much as people think and really expensive unless you get surplus vests which can be cheap.
Take some first aid classes instead, knowing what to do and having the supplies to help will make you feel better and is more likely to be useful in and out of your home, and for things other than gun violence.
If you own your home, for the price of a new vest you can get an exterior grade door installed on a closet/bathroom/basement and have a super cheap safe room that would work way better at not being shot at all.
But think about the chances of someone being in your home with a gun, and just shooting you a few times only in the vest. As morbid as it is, why would they just stop instead of finish shooting you?
Like, even just jumping out a window and running would be a better option than a vest. If you can't do that because of a family, what is one vest solving? We're back to a safe room being better.
This is this best response here!
Thank you for that. Well shared and practical response.
Having a small super safe room does sound ideal!!!
