Good idea, but my kids 8" thick stack of books will probably stop a 9MM as well as this will, the problem is will they think to use it when put into that situation? Most kids will panic, drop the bag and run away unless its a hostage situation and they have time to think and remember what they have and how to use it.

Won’t do much good in schools requiring ‘see-thru’ packs.

...my kids 8" thick stack of books will probably stop a 9MM as well as this will...

Huh, now you've gone and made me curious. I have some old textbooks downstairs I'm going to have to try my own hardware on...

How does the Israel secure their children.. Gramma Checks Ids while Grampa and a few of his friends hang around a short distance away with Uzi,s.

Here the Leaders of the Public Teachers Union NEA pray for massacres.....helps with their Marxist Political Agenda.

Your kids carry around an 8” thick stack of books all day long? Your kids must be the only ones who do this. Kids I know visit their lockers several times a day to swap out books. I personally have never met anyone who carries an 8” stack of books on them all day.

Bulletproof backpack, no such thing as “bulletproof” bullet resistant yes. I would bet the state of Massachusetts has a law outlawing the public use of bulletresistent vests AKA backpacks.

Just too damned bad that we've come to this, but one must understand that multiculturism does come with a price.

More of a wipe-up-the-blood solution than stopping the bleeding. The sheeple will buy into it... they know that the courts/cops won’t protect them.

Proliferation of such body armor would make it cheaper in the long run. In the rare event of another Columbine, the shooters would then be not only well armed, but well protected from assault using confiscated armored bookbags for their own protction.

>>”I want to keep my kid safe,” Curran said.<<

Then homeschool them.

They voluntarily throw their kids to the wolves day in and day out, but feeeeeeeel better about it by giving them bullet-proof backpacks?

Instead of trying to think reactively, why don’t they - gosh, I dunno - eliminate the threat?

It sounds so cliche’, but indeed ‘the terrorists have won’ when we start thinking like these idiot Bostonians.

Treating the result not the cause.

If I were at the point where I thought my CHILD needed a bullet-proof backpack, I would sure as heck homeschool that kid. As I did.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.

Wouldn’t homeschooling be simpler?

This is a really sad commentary on our society. Isn’t it?

My 16YO daughter shredded a very thick math book with a .357

She said she hated math and that was her incentive. Got to love her! LOL
