I've considered getting a bulletproof jacket or hoodie. But it's so expensive, and can only really be worn half the year.
The stuff like backpack inserts seems like a racket. How likely are you to be wearing the backpack and get shot from behind?
Not trying to say it's not a racket but the backpack could easily be used to provide cover in all sorts of situations. It's not like it can only be handled on your back, you can flip it around, hold it over your head, get down in the fetal position and hope it covers you enough to keep little johnny from shredding you with daddy's ar. Pretty versatile actually.
One of the graphics showed just that. And it might work if the attacker decides not to walk four feet left/right to get a new angle.
I mean, if I were a school shooter, I doubt I'd realize you didn't actually get hit, I'd probably be looking for new targets
I guess it's really down the the mindset of the attacker. Going for a high body count for internet clout would cause that. Beef with a specific class for percieved wrongs, probably not.
