Active shooter incidents in the United States have been on a shocking trajectory and should be considered a national crisis. It is no longer just Columbine, Sandy Hook and Stoneman Douglas. It is now Walmart, home town parades, concerts and shopping malls. The point is, protecting yourself with bulletproof body armor is now just as critical as protecting your children.
Thankfully, there are precautionary steps that can ensure active shooter protection for everyone in your family. One such approach is the use of bulletproof backpacks or bulletproof inserts that can be easily moved between different bags. Made from the same ballistic tested material used by law enforcement agencies across the United States, these defensive products are designed to protect vital organs in an emergency situation.
Bulletproof Inserts
Bulletproof inserts are the best ballistic choice for adults because of their versatility. They are designed in several different sizes and can be relocated to whatever purse or backpack you are carrying that day. Bulletproof inserts can be placed in your laptop bag to carry during the day and then moved to your purse to stay protected when you head to the grocery store or concert.
Bulletproof Backpacks
Bulletproof backpacks are the best active shooter safety choice for children because the bulletproof shield is sewn into the bookbag. This prevents children from removing it to lighten their bag or perhaps taking out with their school books and forgetting to put it back in the backpack. With the Kevlar protection sewn into the backpack, kids will always have bulletproof protection with them as long as they have their backpack in their possession.
For comfort and functionality, bulletproof backpacks and ballistic armor inserts make use of Level IIIA soft armor comprised of Kevlar fabric; this ensures maximum defense while remaining lightweight. The woven material offers several levels of protection against bullets fired from handguns through to shotguns.
