Can you convince me that I need body armor?

Skoll has told me the armor being reviewed here is not of a quality he recommends. I can’t speak to the quality of this particular product but I feel the video makes some good points regarding the benefit of trauma pads as well as a build up
Of the rubber coating to catch the shrapnel. I felt a little more educated after watching this video anyway.

It's very basic and budget minded. Like I said I have their LW plates because I couldn't afford ceramic at the time. I absolutely recommend getting ceramic plates if you can afford it. AR500 will do the job but not every company that makes/sells plates are equal. Spartan Armor for example I've heard bad things about. If you go up a few of my posts, I posted a Google docs of different armors, their prices, and ratings. AR500 is acceptable but the absolute bottom of acceptance I think. Towards the end of the year I plan on purchasing HighCom plates.

Personally, unless your job requires it (LEO, business/job) or you like to walk around certain neighborHOODs with a MAGA hat....I see no point.

We're in FL...I'm in flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt half the time. It's bad enough...tiresome...to conceal carry.

I couldn't imagine what LEOs go through armored up in our "gorgeous" weather.

I can see the current political climate leading to one needing some

Apply your argument to guns now and see how ridiculous what you just said is.
