I am a volunteer EMT in PA and i'm in a rough neighborhood. All the medics i work with (out of the local hospital) are issued body armor and a few of them have had to use it. Because i work for a volunteer organization we are responsible for our own protection. I am also a college student in this same neighborhood and have to walk back from chemestry lab at 9:30PM every monday night. In the past week there have been three muggings at gunpoint. Last year a student was killed for $6. Any armor i get i'll probably wear going out after dark and when on duty (when wearing a badge, no matter what it signifies, it makes you a target)
I have a chance to get Second Chance Tri-Flex Body armor at a very good price It's IIA rated and is generation 6. It was used for 6 months by a reserve officer and had a november 2001 manufacture date. I know they're up to generation 9, but that costs way too much so i think this is a good comprimise as i know there are guys out there still using bulky old gen 3 stuff. What do you guys think?
