I wear one at church, because I am in charge of security there. Since Churches are now a target, and Debbie depends on me, I take special precautions, so I can continue to take care of her. I do plan on taking risks if we have Evil people show up.
I don't wear them anywhere else, but the class III is too heavy to wear discreetly. It does go good with my Ghillie Suit, LOL! That is where I plan to use the low weight ballistic plates.
BUT, I don't wear it every day, nor do I worry about safety. I guess I should be careful, I am the runt, LOL!

I do the same here, not armour, (armor) but I like to keep a good level of situational-awareness, know where exits are, not have m back to people etc. I think, in the society we live in, that's a minimum right? I'd carry if I could.
Here all citizens can carry concealed, it is called Constitutional Carry. The Brain is the best weapon, I have training DVD's teaching this called "The Bullet proof mind". Situational awareness is a large part of that DVD.
The class II is just a little extra safety, in addition.
I wish you could carry too. The more sane people that carry, the safer we all are!
:)>I can recall seeing kids riding home on their bikes with a .22LR rifle slung on their back and a couple rabbits dangling off their belt. These days that just can't happen. We will never be able to carry in every day life here. There's enough who would want to I'd say, but it's never going to happen. It's against the law for me to even store a gun in my truck. I can transport it, even locknut in there when traveling to a gun shop, range, competition or hunting etc. But I have to be able to prove I'm on the way to use it, or way back from using it, if challenged by the law. There's other rules around it to of course. So, carrying will never happen.
I think I'm not necessarily super-prepared when out of the home, But so much more prepared than most, that's for sure.
You need to fire the liberal politicians and start over. It took them twenty years to steal your gun rights, it will take at least that long to reverse this! They tried to push some restrictions here, so we fired that governor, and put in a Conservative, and passed laws to extend gun rights instead.
Rifle racks in trucks are still common here. I have a long gun in my trunk most if the time, in case I get out to the gun club.
I bet those kids could carry pellet rifles to hunt the rabbits. They allow air rifles in the UK, and they have some large enough for deer hunting. Here they have some similar air powered units that shoot crossbow bolts...I want one, LOL!
;)>An air rifle, indeed, a paintball gun is considered a. Firearm here. Basically if someone thinks it's a firearm, then it is. So a kid walking around with a toy guy could be apprehended essentially.
Back in the day my grandad made me a Tommy gun, painted it up and all...Was a pretty good likeness...These days you're just as likely to see a young boy (who identifies as gender neutral) running around in a pink Princess dress, eating gluten free vegan food with a lesbian Barbie Doll in his hands than a lad with mud on his boots, face and hands and a toy gun.
Welcome to the new normal.
Sounds like YOU need to be the one rioting, not Us! They will continue until civilization no longer exists, or they expire.
This can not survive long term! We must oppose them, across the board....
NOT MY Normal....
>:(I hear you man. I guess the further it goes the more I retreat in truth. There'll be no 2A-style protests here, the rot and decay has penetrated too far. Talk about freedom? Nah, we're not free.
