I think I told this before but I remember one loss prevention employee I knew from my years working at Sports Authority. He was kind of a hard-ass type, and he wore a Kevlar vest

I asked him about the vest, and he said he used to work security at like a Walmart or something in a poor neighborhood. A homeless guy was stealing alcohol, and as the security guy was closing in to apprehend him, the homeless guy was waiting around the corner with a knife

As the security guy rounded the corner the homeless guy stabbed down into his chest with the knife and the blade broke on his Kevlar vest. He said he was so mad he beat the dude to an inch of his life (in self-defense). Luckily I don’t think the store footed the bill for that since the guy was charged with attempted murder. I joked that watching that knife break woulda made me feel like Superman

But it did make me think, if I was gonna be security or LP, I might think about a Kevlar vest…

Kevlar has the best PR team in history

that would have been a "plate carrier", kevlar is a woven fibrous material that slow moving, sharp pointy objects can penetrate. kevlar is best used as an outer layer of an AR500 plate, which will catch spalling (bullet shrapnel) from going straight up into your neck/chin.

Kevlar fiber alone is often carried into the body along with the bullet, while it does catch the bullet, it often does so after it was pushed inches into the body. This material was pretty good a few decades ago, but as the attacker/defender pendulum constantly swings, kevlar was reduced to a heavy christmas sweater by rounds like the high velocity 5.56 or specialized modern pistol calibers like FN's 5.7

"Ok Google Kevlar codpiece"

FTFY! ;):cool:

Oh my bad. Yea he had some kind of a vest, this was like 15 yrs ago so I didn’t remember which

That post was a joke you dumb fuck.

But since you started a fight about it, you're seriously telling me democrats want teachers to open carry?

You dumb fuck.

just tryin to pay back the American taxpayer a lil bit :p

also i try to let people know that the term "tactical vest" is a missnomer

people see rednecks wearing 40 year old army surplus vests and think they are somehow comparable to an actual soldier's gear

i try to champion knowledge in the gun control debate because its such a huge snap judgement issue that people decide on and never change. They don't consider things like, the difference between an M1014 shotgun, or a 5/8" pipe with a few washers and a rat trap spring mechanism.

or the fact that with any chemistry and material sciences knowledge, someone can lay down some serious hurt with just $50 of shit from wal-mart

imo the gun control agenda is the same kind of bait like how republicans use abortion.

they're just gonna huff, and they're gonna puff, and blow nothing down.

It wasnt funny.

you cant see the humor in anything because youre so worked up about something you cant control.

at this point youd watch that grill video and be like, if he wasn't a trumper he'd have cleaned the grease trap!

The Democrats are fucking up energy prices on purpose, and they have absolutely no intention of fixing it, Psaki just said so.
