Gladiator Solutions’ PakProtect backpack body armor is light, easy to deploy, and it works. Perhaps that last point is the most crucial point of all.

In an ideal world, school entrances would be narrowed to one or two, and resource officers would work those entrances with armed teachers serving as a last resort for any attackers who found a way to circumvent the officers. But we do not live in an ideal world. Rather, we live in one where the Democrats fight tooth and nail to keep teachers unarmed, and that in turn, means the teachers and their students are sitting ducks.

Enter the PakProtect backpack body armor plate. It is extremely light, 18.5 ounces, and that light weight makes the PakProtect easy to underestimate. But it will stop popular handgun rounds in their tracks. Moreover, Gladiator Solutions designed it to be “stab proof” as well.

We first shot a PakProtect plate with a 9mm bullet:

The plate stopped the 9mm with no problem, so we shot the plate with a .38 Special revolver and a .45 pistol. Again, the PakProtect stopped the rounds:

We are dire need of solutions to violence against innocents in schools around the country. But until the government gets out of the way so school districts can choose to have sufficient resource officers and/or officers and armed teachers, then parents are going to have to do what they can to keep their kids safe.

PakProtect is designed to help parents do just that.
