Bulletproof Backpacks?

by Sandra Williams

bulletproof backpacksIt’s somewhat disturbing that there is a demand for these bulletproof back packs at all, but if you want more information, check out the video at the end of this post and/or go to MyChildsPack.com at MJ Safety Solutions.

Mike and Joe from MJ Saftey Solutions came up with the idea of making backpacks bullet proof for their children. Friends and family wanted some and since then the demand grew.

They sell for $175 at a threat level two protection, apparently the same level as bulletproof police vests. I can’t see them being quite as safe because the children would not have them on as often. I suppose some sort of shield is better than none though.

    Thanks for the info, in light of the last 10 days - 5 seperate school shootings, I think I am going to get a My Child’s Pack for my 2 kids. MJ Safety Solutions should give you a commission on my sale, haha

    Tracy, I don’t blame you. It’s horrible about the shootings. If it helps keep someone safe that’s commission enough.
