Warstler told the news station Griffin was at the party to sell his friend a "flak jacket."

Probably had an old Army Kevlar flak jacket - these are NOT intended to stop bullets - I tried it once - but the jacket was on a stump. It did stop .22 but nothing else.

Or they shot just above the plate

Prolly shouldn't have used Daddy's 30-06.

Hope they kept the receipt...'cause that vest didn't work...
( I know there ain't no such thing as a 100% bullet proof vest )

I can see the Craigslist ad now...
For sale one slightly used Bullet Proof Vest...comes with two holes for that "Battle worn look"
Perfect gift for the friend you really don't like..
Amaze your friends with the war stories you can make up with this one of a kind collectors item...
All this can be yours for the low , low price of $99.95...

It was a flak vest.

Obviously both he and the media do not know the difference.
