I've been looking into it now since the unrest and the fact that I have food and fuel stacked (put my funds to the most useful tools for my party).
I considered the AR500 stuff. I figured something is better than nothing. But I've investigated more and will want quality multicurve plates. Let's just say I'm in the market, but pending funds. I've asked local LE friends for a deal on used department issued stuff, but they all 100% say you don't want to mess with our junk...it's junk!
Again, when I do acquire some I'll feel guilty for having BA and my family not. So I know I'll be making a big purchase. As mentioned above, on my ship, when conducting crowd control during "lockdown" drills I felt guilty for having body armor while 170 of my shipmates did not.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
- Mark Twain
