This is good advice. I agree with it for 99.9% of the people out there, with the exception of the Mall Ninja. Pay special attention to the part in bold and italics. He needs a plan B.

Am I being careful enough?” from GlockTalk

hello friends,

Last year I made the decision to trust my life on the street to Second Chance body armor. I got the level IIa because it stops the most rounds. plus I got the Trauma Plate for the front.

What scares me is that, although I can fit an extra trauma plate in the front, I cannot fit a second one in back. As of late I have taken to duct-taping a second trauma plate to the area of my back where the heart and vital organs are located. Then I put my vest on.

Here is the questions. The ducttape solution, although tactically sound, is hot and painful to remove. I would like to go to the single-plate solution in back. What I am worried about is repeated hits to that area with .308 ammunition. I have a high-risk security job and I fear that I would be the target for repeated long-distance shots to my back.

Are any of you aware of a thicker plate that could stop, say, .338 Lapua or something like that? Is there a better way to do the second plate?

BTW, I am, of course, usually carrying a pair of ceramic plates in my briefcase so that I can shield my head. My SO (we work as a team when necessary) has a similar accessory containing a breakdown NEF single-shot 300 WinMag with an 18" bbl. The plan is that I shield us with my body and “catch the rounds” while she assembles the NEF. I lay down covering fire with my 23 (Bar-Sto .357 Sig barrel) and she makes the long shots. I will then throw smoke grenades to obscure the area while continuing to lay covering fire. The problem, of course, is when I have to turn my back to run, and then the problem crops up.

Thanks!

One poster responded, ‘If Plan A is to take multiple .338 shots to the back, youreally need to come up with a Plan B.” Needless to say, alot of folks started seriously wondering where this guy worked”

 

Just curious does the single turbo Cats have a heater hose behind it and under the exhaust manifold like the twin turbo cats do?

 

LOL Some people are seriously loony.

 

Picking up after Chubby or filling Bridget’s old role?

Congratulations by the way. I know you said you ran Toledo for awhile.

 

Excellent, my friend. EXCELLENT!

 

Taking over Chubby's old position

The new girl, Bailey, will be taking Bridget's old position, she starts Monday and Tracy is flying down from Arlington to train her.

 

Good because I bet I can just fill in the last 0.00000001

So on average we are a 5 exactly

 

Pops could brake check a caprice at highway speeds, timed perfect to backwards swat and connect with all 3 of us boys at the same time. Then back on the gas.
