My bullet proof laptop bag
I’m always looking for the slight edge when it comes to my
safety…
And for a while now I’ve been looking into bullet proof
products. Of course, I could be ultra
safe and wear a bullet proof vest every day but that’s not going to happen. As
any police officer will tell you, wearing a bullet proof vest is not
comfortable and in 90 degree weather it’s downright miserable.
I’d say that anybody who tells you they wear a vest on a
daily basis is either lying to you or they’re probably on the verge of doing
something illegal and they know they’re going to need it.
So instead of sweating to death in a vest I started looking
at other options such as bullet proof backpacks and laptop bags. However, they
were very expensive (usually $500 or more) and I didn’t see anything I liked.
Well, I contacted a fellow I know that makes bullet proof
products for the military and police. I told him that I simply wanted a bullet
proof panel that I could use in my laptop bag and transfer to other bags. I
also wanted to use it for dry fire practice in my house and for unloading and
loading my guns in my house.
I told him it had to be level IIIA armor. Level IIIA armor is the highest level of
protection that is made for concealable armor. It’s the stuff SWAT teams use
and stops up to a .44 magnum.
I decided that a 10 x 14 size panel would be ideal and my
friend kindly agreed to custom make one for me.
As soon as I picked it up from him I began using it in my laptop bag,
which comes pretty much everywhere with me.
I also used it when unloading and loading my guns and dry
firing in my house. Plus, it comes in real handy when I have to clean my Glock
since you have to pull the trigger to clean it.
The thing is, as soon as I got it I wanted to shoot the
panel and test it out. However, I couldn’t bring myself to sacrifice the panel
as body armor does cost a decent amount of money. However, before a pistol
course this past weekend I decided to finally put it to the test.
Let’s just say I was pleased with what I saw and feel much
better about having the panel around for dry fire and other uses. Now I just
need to contact my friend and get a new one.

Perhaps it will encourage you to get a panel for yourself.
Even if you don’t carry it around in your laptop bag, at least you have a safe backstop
to point your gun in your house.
Also, if you do want a panel send an email to lisa@concealedcarryacademy.com. My friend gave me a very good deal on the panel so I can get you one for a good price.
