Really thought-provoking couple of posts there, guys. I have made it a rule to keep my IIIa+ vest handy enough to throw on if I hear somebody downstairs breaking into my townhouse. I’m getting ready to move to a third-floor apartment (which by nature is much more secure since it has no outside windows or entrances), which is part of the reason I felt comfortable listing my armor in the classifieds recently. I am, though, having second thoughts about selling anything. The world isn’t getting any safer. Just going into any urban area these days gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Then there’s range and training use... Yeah, safety rules are strict and all that, but accidents happen and people can do crazy things. Wearing armor probably makes a lot of sense anywhere bullets are flying around, even these highly-controlled environments.
