Does anyone really have bodyarmor/ tact vest?

[gadegaard]

I am just wondering how many of you guys really have bodyarmor or for that matter a tactical vest already set up for training or SHTF. I am a Marine and im about to buy my PERSONAL bodyarmor and vest. Also how many of yall train with that vest if you have it? Thanks, G

I have a Paraclete RAV that I used as a member of the PD tactical Unit. I kept it after I retired (I bought it) and still use it for carbine training.

Yeah, I've got body armor. For work.

Purchased soft body armor for a security job I once held. It now sits in the closet except during cooler months when I wear it to the range for an extra layer of warmth and protection from any idiots that might be afoot.

For the military, it's standard Interceptor/MOLLE gear.

Not yet.

I've got IIIA concealable armor from work. The city never recovered it because they don't feel they can reissue it. If it wasn't for teaching and taking classes with shoot houses I'd sell it all.

I have a MOLLE vest similar to an IBA with which I train for mag changes and such. I also have my issue IBA, but that never comes to the range unless it's an Army range.

I was given a concealable soft armor vest by a friend in the industry.

I wore it to a class that we took together (in the desert...) because it seemed like the polite thing to do. I've not had occassion to wear it since

I have IIIA Body Armor that is issued to me.

I train with it at times, depends on where and when. If the job didn't give it to me I wouldn't have it.

Had a Tactical vest, sold it. Have a chest pouch of VZ-58 mags for the unthinkable, but I just keep it dusted off for now.
I have body armor at work if I need it.

I have one of the Blackhawk vests that I bought a while back. Haven't used it yet. Planning to though once I can get some time to take the Practical Rifle course that I want to get to.
