I referred to the vest as being armored. I am probably wrong. Maybe it is considered a bulletproof vest but not armored.
I wonder if this guy goes for a walk every three weeks or every day. Just curious.
I’m not against what you said re: armor; that was in what I read this morning. I just know it isn’t all that easy to get, that’s all....there are ‘carrier’ vests, utility vests, some variations - let’s call them tac vetst. Some have pockets for breast plates (armor) and the various generations thereof for protection level.
For a civilian to buy one of these plates, there’d be some bucks involved, likely you could buy a nice revolver for that amount, a Mossberg pump, etc.
The media is trained to say armor, bulletproof, etc. when they see a vest. Just like they say AK when they see anything that has a barrel longer than a foot. For the others with barrels shorter than that, they are GLOCKs.
