Guard Dog Bullet resistant backpacks

just get a freaking plate and put it in the bladder pouch on ANY backpack.. meh

Thanks! I had no idea these even existed!

Because backpacks are allowed everywhere.

If that is a less expensive option, please instruct people on how to do that -- where to buy plates, what brand of pack do you suggest?

These packs are not dirt cheap, please share with everyone. This thread is to help people who may want to be pro-active, as many of us believe this stuff will get worse.

Awesome... Thanks

They will search your pack when you go to events.

However, one of the questions asked:




Would this stop a high velocity rifle bullet?



Answer:

No it's not rated for that

Thanks for the info, I'll pass it along!

sure thing hun..

so much for the ol', "terrorist shot my homework" trick thanks to this.

No, but it would slow it down. Depends also what is inside the pack. In my kids case, that would be textbooks, which would also help.

Thank you

THANK YOU

These are a good idea especially if you need a backpack anyway. Remember though that most bullet proof vests (even the actual purpose made vests that cops wear) are rated for handgun rounds up to .44 magnum. That is a lot of protection, but it will not stop a rifle round.

Not discouraging this at all. Just know what you are buying. These would be great for most situations as most attackers using firearms use handguns and attacks using rifles are pretty rare.

They don't allow backpacks in events in NC.

Sorry for the mis- information. Anyway, they have lots of options, go blow them up.

Cool other bulletproof clothing/items here:

Magic Mormon Underwear???

I see people wear packs all the time what do you carry in those full time?

Everything I need to carry daily fits in my BDUs.

Hmmm .... must be different in different places.

Then, the above posters suggestion of purchasing plates is a good idea. They could be placed in a purse, or a jacket too maybe, I suppose. Guess you would just have to be creative in NC.

Another great all veteran owned supplier. Protection for about half the price of brand X.

Rifle plates are heavy, most kids would hate lugging it around by itself, let alone with books. One could get ceramic plates, but kids would break them, rendering them moot.

"Most" of the time, it's a pistol used anyway.

Frankly. Even with rifle plates, unless you knew where this shooter was, and knew where to position your plate between yourself and the shooter; it wouldn't of done much good, other than random chance defection.

Continuing. Even in the best circumstance, without the plate being canted toward the ground, and or, having an adequate lining, the spawling(ejecta from the round exploding on the plate) would be sent toward the base of your skull..

So, over all, having a book-bag purpose built for the task sounds like a better plan. Unless your handy with a thread and needle, and want to enforce a normal pack with some Kevlar around the top, and a pad to ensure the plate in angled downward..

But what do I know, I'm just some crazy on the inter-webs.

I don't carry it full time, my kids pretty much do. I have a mom purse, and now I may get a plate for it. I am also almost always carrying too -- although that would have done NOTHING to help in LV.

Well, off to the gym for a couple hours.

Carry on sharing info.

Nice. Would you recommend one of these as a potential bug-out bag? (5* for thread)

I didn't mean you personally, I just see it fairly often and always asked myself what would they be carrying, these aren't kids but young adults, kids with school books I can understand.

Good thread!

how many will carry the weight?
