Penetrating Kevlar

[DeltaElite]

Chainsaw,
That was aimed at someone who would use the term "Tyranny Enforcement Officer" while thinking of themselves as some kind of Patriot.

As for parity, well I don't have a rifle, so the citizenry as a whole is better armed than I am while at work.
I want parity.

Thanks Pendragon,
Maybe I get a little riled up sometimes, but some people seem to have an agenda beyond what they openly claim to have.

I know there are some heated debates on THR but I have trouble with the ethics of a "How to penetrate Kevlar" thread. Sort of has
goblin undertones.

What Carlos said.

I am outa this one, I am too personally involved in the result of the topic to be objective.

I bet I would get some heat if I started a thread titled, "How to penetrate Citizens skulls".

Carry on folks.

DE, I think that topic is fairly self explanatory. I wonder if there's a "patently obvious" lock for such threads.

Either topic seems perfectly acceptable to me. There are certain times when shooting at kevlar and/or citizens' (hopefully just one or a couple at a time, but bad things can happen) skulls is legal and socially acceptable.

 

[Carlos Cabeza]

I don't know how much a good vest costs but everyone has a skull, and for those I would use a .45 ACP golden sabre.

Some skulls are thicker than others though.

 

[Carlos Cabeza]

I know the "skull" comment was trite, but the point I am trying to make is that vests are used when an individual has an interest to put him or herself into harms way. If you are not a criminal, the possibility of encountering a person wearing one is very small. I don't feel the need to wear one with my CCW because I don't anticipate being shot at. I avoid situations that might result in a shooting. I avoid areas where the probability of such activity is high. The people that intentionally put themselves in this type of situation are either criminals or law enforcement, period. I am not saying a civilian should not be able to purchase one but discussing how to defeat an officers main form of gunshot PPE is certainly a touchy subject. I don't feel the need to scrutinize such information.

Guilty until proven inocent?

So cops wearing kevlar are presumed inocent, and everyone else is guilty? There IS an elitist atitude in some of these posts.

Everyone has the right to feel vunerable if they wish. Police have no obligation to protect anyone. It's up to individuals to do whatever they think is best to protect themselves, including wearing or shooting through kevlar. Wearing body armour is NOT an indication of criminal intent!
:banghead:

 

[DeltaElite]

Wearing body armor, is indeed no sign of criminal intent.
Wearing body armor when it is not a part of your vocation may be an indication of a paranoid disorder that is best dealt with in the clinical setting.

 

[TheeBadOne]

The only reason I'm paranoid is everyone is out to get me!

 

[DeltaElite]

The voices in my head warn me in advance of any danger.
So I am not as paranoid as I used to be, thanks to the voices in my head.
