Best Bulletproof Vests?
Posted: Tue May 03, 2022 3:14 am
Because of certain rulings by a fascist-leaning court, there will be protests and subsequently a higher risk of Neo-Nazi squads invading my humble home or threatening my life while I am carrying out my everyday nonviolent routine.
I currently possess a Kel-Tec RDB Defender, and Smith & Wesson Shield EZ .380, so I feel that I am sufficiently armed to stand an equal chance against any aggressors. However, I currently do not have a bulletproof vest, and I would like to acquire one in the near future, preferably one that is lightweight as possible. To be safe, I have to assume that bullets as lethal as .45 ACP ones could be heading my way. My first question is: Will NIJ level IIIA armor be sufficient? Or do I need to select heavier armor for the purpose?
Also, what are the best prices to get any bulletproof vests that you recommend? I have a $650 budget for this purpose, which should be enough to buy at least some popular level IIIA brands out there.
Any responses are appreciated.
