Where can a civilian get a good bulletproof vest?

I’m worried about the next Rittenhouse. Stay safe out there and watch out for the “good guy with a gun”

In the US I’m pretty sure you can just buy them online.

Do John wick style bullet proof suits actually exist (and work)?
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Short answer : No
Long answer : Bullet proof is a misnomer, everything, even the air, will eventually stop a bullet. You can get a suit with ballistic fiber which will work against small and slow calibers. Keep in mind that the damage a bullet does is more than just perforating your clothing. Body armor has a rating system telling you what kind of rounds it can mitigate, although most rifle rounds require some sort of rigid plate to prevent penetration and also dissipate the impact over a large surface area. A thin, flexible bullet resistant suit or jacket is not going to do either of those things very well.

You mean the ones that completely negate impact damage? I think those would violate physics.
You are supposed to be able to catch flexible bulletproof armor that isn’t made of Kevlar but some kind of non-Newtonian gel, but I don’t know how good it is.

They sell plate carriers at my local gun store.

I’m sick of worrying about being killed over my freedom of speech in this so called free country and I think I’d rather die by calling out some fascist than cancer or living under tyranny anyways.
None of you are immortal so figure it the fuck out.

You can counter a rittenhouse with a second amendment.

Don’t physically assault anyone and you’ll be okay.

Damn those school kids must have been rowdier than I thought.

What school kids?

I love when someone brings up Rittenhouse because I dated someone who went to high school with him, so I know quite a bit about him.
Turns out all of the signs were there and his mom encouraged that type of stuff :)

They’re often are signs. I was at school with someone that ended up being a murderer. He was a super weird kid, his father wasn’t around and his mother was an alcoholic so he never really had a great upbringing, schools response to all this was to get him suspended whenever he acted up.
