Do you ever worry about an assailant wearing body armor?

[Martel]

I personally don't worry about it, although I do plan on getting body armor at some point. It's not high on my list though. I've never heard of criminals wearing body armor in my area, but if it became a problem I'd probably just switch to my AR for primary home defense. Some good 62gr green tips should solve just about anything that comes my way... and again, the chances are so remote...why worry?! Guns are the perfect cure for worry anyway.

I'd like to see where break in thugs are sporting bulletproof vests.

There was a gang operating in Phoenix that were wearing vests and doing home invasions. They would come in wearing full SWAT gear. They were mainly targeting drug dealers and did a number of kidnappings as well.

Its a major concern for me, and that why I duck tape trauma plates to my chest and back in the event that the mugger has a 338 Lapua

I am not going to say never, but I am willing to bet 99.98% don't.
