You just never know, that’s for sure! ;-)

Especially when in real life -- not in "TV Land" (I don't even have TV) -- I socialize and shoot regularly with a bunch of folks that includes many guys who make their livings in firearm related industries, such s gun shop owners, instructors and trainers, law enforcement, and the most blessed skill of gunsmithing and gun repair.

ALL OF THESE GUYS laughed when I, outraged at the time, told them about the "experts" on this forum who assured fellow FReepers that that shooter in Aurora, Colorado, couldn't have been stopped because of his body armor. Every one of them said that the impact from a .45, and for sure the rapid succession of impacts from a .45, on that body armor (no "head shot" involved) would 99 percent likely unbalance and knock down the shooter long enough to overpower him. They don't "live in TV land."
