Bulletproof...clipboard?

[DThurston]

Ran across this one today (on Slashdot, no less):

Ballistic Clipboard holds papers, stops bullets

Short version is that there's a bulletproof clipboard available. Apparently this outfit isn't the first, but still, intriguing.

Looks like a great range-video candidate!

these has been available for LEO's for some time. I would not want to be holding it when hit got hit. They have not been popular due to the extra weight.

I kinda doubt that if you're holding a clipboard when it recieves 300 to 400 ft. lbs. of energy you're not going to be able to hold onto that sucker. I guess it's better than nothing for one shot.

I think just the fact it would be able to at least defect a bullet might make it worth it.

You probably would not be able to hold it and stop bullets, but I can see where it could at least defect one giving you that extra second.

Also heard the IRS collection people are picking these up. haha

In a pinch, it will work as a trauma plate

Just what upper management types might need if the hostile takeover gets REALLY hostile!!
