and then what happens when criminals wear them?
sadly, all things like this, end up being used in the wrong way.
Gun safety is a basic thing that can prevent accidents,
KNOW your target 100% before point a gun at it!
treat every gun as loaded, and LEARN basic gun common scene and safe handling, will prevent most all SO called accidental shootings!
I do not see something like this, from preventing say a KID getting access to a gun, or a person with NO gun training or knowledge from stopping to shot a person by ACCIDENT or other wise
gun owners are a small percentage of humans on this planet, , so that means MOST would never be wearing any device to STOP a gun from being fired at them!
if you think a Vest like this will prevent a stray bullet in a combat or like shooting, your NUTS, it just might end up getting more folks killed when you cannot stop a threat!
in combat and war times and the likes Innocent folks will always be a possible outcome, sadly, its the nature of that beast!
a device like the above would NOT help the random casualty from stray bullets, as again, MOST all average folks wouldn;t be wearing the devise in the first place!
I won't call the idea stupid, I just think it would never work out , to many flaws in the idea!
and honestly, I think the world is always trying to reinvent things to solve simple problems by making complicated devices.
as again,m BASIC< gun safety prevents accidental shootings if the steps are followed!
I have NEVER seen a person in all my yrs hunting/living that looked like a turkey or a deer? or a TARGET!
and thus, I have NOT accidentally shot anyone because of being 100% sure of my targets, and the same can happen for ANYONE that follows this simple gun safety rule, NO device needed!
be a responsible gun owner and follow basic safety rules and accidents will be a LOT fewer!
