Why do you guys need armor?  I mean the government will take care of us right?  

I want armor because I want armor.... Everything here is hypothetical.  In the event that hypothetical becomes reality... you can take your chances of getting hit and trying to find a hospital that is available in a Post SHTF environment.  Meanwhile.... I might have some broken ribs, and keep on trucking.  

It's your life... you choose:

Hole in chest with puddle of blood?  OR
Maybe some bruised lung/broken ribs... but a better chance of SURVIVAL

dee da deeeee
