"You could wear kevlar. "

A .223 round at a "reasonable" range would slice through Kevlar like a hot knife through butter.....

Even the new comabat vests with ceramic plates have a tough time with the .223 round within close proxiemity.....

They do effectively stop rounds fired from a AK-47 though....

I was just trying to offer lobbyist some potential comfort. I think it would be better for people to try and protect themselves from getting shot, than to go around, fully armed, and shooting at everyone else that is armed and scared. If a random, long distance shooter wants to kill you, he will.
