    Just a few years ago anyone talking about buying body armor was looked at as playing army, and not taken as seriously as they should have been, now that things have really headed South in a lot of areas, even the naysayers are looking at it entirely differently. The older I get, the more it hits home that I would rather not be a sieve if I can prevent it, with the majority of my life behind me, I want to be able to enjoy what I have left, and if I never need body armor, I prefer to have it just for the peace of mind. Again, another good, eye opening video.

    1st get out of the line of fire, take cover. My first carrier is the Veritas w RMA level IV ceramic 1155 10x12 single curve plates, Eestac 7.62 x 51 rifle mags for my Scar 17 mags, triple pistol mags holders. Bought another set of level IV ceramic swimmer cut plates and just ordered a Crye Precision JPC carrier. Why another? Quick answer is Biden. I do have 6x8 level IV ceramic side plates but leave them off for mobility unless I know I’m going into an all out shtf situation.Don’t forget an Afaik kit, tourniquets at minimum.
