LEATHERBACK GEAR PHOTO
You’re carrying a daypack. Maybe you’re at work or in a business meeting. Maybe you’re walking down a city street or hiking a country trail. Or maybe your child is walking down a school hallway proudly wearing her new backpack. Then the worst happens. A crazed gunman opens fire.
Carrying a weapon isn’t allowed in many places and it’s not an option for your kids. And if you’re caught in the open or have nowhere to run, you need to find cover fast. Today, there are backpacks designed to hold more than a laptop, school supplies and a lunch. Besides being a must-have gear-hauling accessory, some backpacks now come equipped with bulletproof inserts, built-in or removable, that can protect you and your loved one when the bullets start flying.
