Stores offer bulletproof backpacks in bricks-and-mortar locations

Parents who are worried about the safety of their children while at school now have a new line of defense easily available at their local stores.
OfficeDepot is now carrying Guard Dog Security backpacks that are called bullet-resistant in the company's bricks-and-mortar stores, as well as online, CBS reported.
The backpacks retail for almost $175 and are made with "nylon fabric and soft tactical armor," according to the backpack's online description.
quote:
The company said the backpacks were tested by a third-party laboratory and the lab's report is included with the backpack.
The bag will stop a bullet from a .44 magnum handgun, but it won't stop a round from a high-velocity rifle, CBS News reported.
quote:
Law enforcement told KREM that the bags are not fully bulletproof, but rather bullet-resistant, CBS News reported.
The Chronicle reported that they only give about 25% protection when used as a shield.
Zrazhevskiy counters those arguments saying that "25% protection is better than no protection at all," the Chronicle reported.

OR we could just fund security at all schools with a standing order to shoot to kill every legitimate threat.

Anti-gun person - "OMG your chances of needing a gun are so low, paranoid right wingers!"
Same person "OMG parents have to buy their kids bulletproof backpacks in the US! WHAT HAVE WE COME TO SMH!"

Problem is most of the school shootings are done with ARs

I wonder if this would qualify for the $72 Louisiana tax credit for body armor purchases

At least you’ll be 25% less dead.

How about a backpack that shoots spikes out of it instead?
You’d be better off hiding behind a door or a desk or a table and pummeling the attacker with your backpacks and other items than trying to hide behind that little thing

The binder inserts are better because most schools don’t allow backpacks to be carried through the school day.
