pro's and con's pro's all things
so to each there own!
as for cops and vests and bullets
well 22's tend to go thru vest as do ALL center fire rifle calibers, unless there wearing a special plate and even then, the SHOCK trauma can kill even if the bullet doesn;t go thru!
and well, since were talking about DOG vest running thru weeds sticks and such, and a cop, well, seldom does this, its NOT a real comparison by any means
if I was a cop, I'd wear a vest and takes it draw backs(weight bulks, loss of movement and general discomfort.
I sold vest to police and like agency's for many yrs, so I do have and know a little about them!!
