True story, if you stand out in the open during a firefight fumbling with a mag change you are probably gonna get shot.
S, M, C. Haven't heard that in a while. 13B?
So we are emphatically clear, what I said was "I find it ridiculous that guys talk about huge stores of ammo, guns, etc, but don't have body armor."
Meaning: Focusing all on offense and neglecting defense is ridiculous when it comes to your life.
Never said, used or implied that anyone is stupid. You just conjured that term up yourself. Buying food and ammo is the exact opposite of being stupid. Both are necessary and you entirely missed the purpose of the post, failed to read it, or simply made your own large and very false assumptions to make yourself sound better.
If you want to keep straying to other topics as armored cars and buying food, neither of which were mentioned before you typed them, then go make your own thread in the Off Topic Section.
I'd go for an ad hominem here but I won't.
You don't have to get mad. I'm not good at internet arguments. (That's Trlsmn) I'm better conveying my point over brews.
You must be assuming I plan on staying in populated areas.
You don't need body armor if you are bugging out 100 miles into the wilderness far from cities.
You money as better spent on other items.
I'm sorry if I'm not doing the mindless head nod.

I don't bring emotion into an argument, but I didn't assume anything about your location now or where it will be. But the mindless head nod remark is just a backhanded dig. At least you're correct about the mindless part.
I wear plates everywhere I go.. even to the GYM...
I am hard like that....
Sure you have guns and ammo, but how is your defense? I find it ridiculous that guys talk about huge stores of ammo, guns, etc, but don't have body armor.
So my question is, do you own body armor, a concealable vest, ceramic plates, helmet, whatever?
Well said cheese.
I figure if I need body armor then I'll just compress my tinfoil hat into a ballistic plate. That should work right...
So, to those of you who've purchased body armor already... did you go with type II or III? And if you went with II for do you consider a trauma plate a must have?
I've tried on some armor at the show. I like the idea of getting a vest with plates. I've been offered really good deals, but always passed. Mainly due to the weight. I started sweating just thinking about walking around with all the metal hanging off me. I don't see a use for a pistol only vest, because most likely in a shtf situation, they'll be shooting at you with .223 and up.
Very few people here seem to understand that most rifle rounds will go straight through almost all armor.
