Bulletproof Vest Practice is a bad idea and a huge example of Bad Gun Handling. Don’t get drunk and start testing ballistic gear!
Bulletproof Vests & Alcohol don’t mix. Just because one of them strapped on a vest doesn’t mean they were being smart in the slightest. They are both lucky their little game of Bulletproof Vests & Alcohol didn’t leave one of them dead and the other in prison for man slaughter.
These guys are just lucky they survived.
Why do I show these videos? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
Clearly this is a violation of Rule 1. Shooting your buddy is not safe. I don’t care if he strapped on a vest first. I get it. You get curious. Will this vest really stop a bullet. Go buy a gel torso and strap your vest to that. Shooting at your buddy is not the way to test if the vest is going to work or not.
