The problem is that we are being "legitimately" regulated out of every nit-picking thing that our nanny government can conceive of. Not only that but they attach fines and often jail time to them... for things that harm no one. If a guy wants to wear a vest, let him. If he wants to prepare for doomsday, let him. It won't hurt you one tiny bit. It's about freedom to choose, my friend. Don't lose sight of the way ahead for a wooden nickel laying on the ground.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout Personally I don't care. I have body armour and would only wear it when I need it for work. It is heavy and hot. With the ceramic plates it is even worse. It isn't the light stuff that most folks are talking about but I just don't see the need or have the desire personally in my day to day... Others feel differently and thats their choice. |
We should be allowed to buy them. But my 338 Lapua says they are useleless.:sign0068:

dont think I would be using a range that I feel bullet resistant outer wear is needed for a day out at the butts. as vmc posted quite a few rounds have very little problem poking holes. I have heard tell fmj's from a .22 mag and similar high speed small caliber projectile 's work particularly at defeating kevlar below actual plates. have some experience with injuries caused by rounds just catching the edge of armor, can you say buzzsaw. rugita has shown the error in my ways. untill your up to no good (villany). a freeman of good intent can for the most part do and wear whatever he wishes. within the law with some restrictions. all the folks wishing for bullet resistant clothing fill your boots. lol ill give it 4-6 hours before they pass out or throw it away.

Allowing vests.....
This is the second time in the last while I have seen a thread of vests being allowed......in one of the earlier posts Cat said "I don't care for them [semi-autos] but I would defend anyone who wants to use one"...or something like that. This statement is so true! I had said to Rocky7 that I didn't want to post the "trials" I had made with a vest earlier in this post but after reading all that goes back and forth about them.....if you want one go ahead...I would even support you buying one, after all they don't stop as much as you think.
Here are some pictures I took of a vest that was given to me as a gift and I didn't want to be a criminal or register it (I wil NEVER register another long gun again by the way) so I decided to have some fun with it before I hang it in my garage.....enjoy...I hope it helps you decide if it is really worth owning one. http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSC_0123.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSC_0129.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSC_0113.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSC_0109.jpg http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/...s/DSC_0121.jpg Most shots were from 50yds or less with the exception of the 270win which was 100yds. I have a few other pics at home that are more recent and all I can say is if they can't stop a 45 at 15yds I can't see them much good at shorter distances against most of the guys here on this fourm with what they have "locked up" in their cabinets :snapoutofit: |

The core of this argument has nothing to do with myself or anyone deciding that we "need" or "want" to wander around all day, every day wearing kevlar. Not really something that goes with my wardrobe, personally. The crux of the argument is that this is an item that does no harm, does not encourage crime, and has no need of regulation. This is another attempt on the behest of the social engineers to make choices for all of us based off of a fantasy that this item will somehow manage to influence otherwise law-abiding citizens into becoming criminals. This is the same thought that brought us prohibition and many other well intentioned programs designed to move us all towards a perfect, safe, society where we're all magically taken care of. |

If this were true, why do we have soldiers and police dying from bullet wounds? They minimize the trauma for the most part, not eliminate it. |
