I just wanted some protection in the event of civil unrest.
Not really likely in my AO, but any excuse to buy gear, right?
Kudos to whoever brought up that the biggest threat we are likely to face is pistol rounds.
I hadn't thought about it, but it is true.
Found some
concealable plate carriers and pistol rated soft armor from Tactical Scorpion Gear.
With a discount code less than $300 for two vests, 4 panels.
But, in case it really gets bad I got one of the
Condor Sentry carriers and the
LAPG level 3 ceramic plates.
The Sentry seems well made and the plates are a snug fit.
For now I plan to run it with just 3 rifle mags on the front
I think it will be perfect for my needs.
Less than $300 for this rig with a discount code.
Hope I never have to use any of it but I will train with it at the range.
Getting the wife to train in the soft armor may be a challenge.
If we had enough land to train on our own it would be great, but I'm a member of a private club so practicing on the range there will have to do.
