The Bulletproof Backpack

From Gizmodo comes word of this new item that, frankly, speaks volumes about our public school system.
Made from 13 layers of K-29 Kevlar, this thin, lightweight plate fits in most backpacks and can stop every bullet from a 9mm all the way to Dirty Harry’s .44 Magnum.
Yeah, that’s the kind of “socialization” my homeschooled kids are missing out on.

With the recent school shootings (2 seperate schools in the last week) I think those guys at MJ SafetySolutions are on the right track with the My Child’s Pack bulletproof backpack. I didn’t realy think about it too much, but now I am changing my thinking. I hate to think about my kids having to have a bullet resistant shield, but it in this world, I think giving them some piece of mind, might be worth it.
Indeed, if you’re going to voluntarily send your child into a building full of guns and other weapons to get educated, by all means protect them.
