Interesting product.

I have seen bullet proof clipboards before and I know one company makes a 10" x 13" panel (give or take) that is rated 3A. Perfect size for a backpack or briefcase and it only costs about $90 or so. Weighs less than a pound. Botach has them I think.

I've never seen something quite like that before.  Seems like a hassle and heavy to lug around. 

I've seen backpacks with ballistic protection that IIRC was intended for to protect kids.  It functioned as a normal backpack with a ballistic panel insert on the back of the main compartment.

I rather spend 900 bucks on another gun.  I certainly don't have a need for something like that.
