Is it wise to wear body armor for home defense?
A lot of us here in the hunting section have talked about home defense here. Would it be wise for me to save some money and buy a modern military surplus body armor vest with ceramic trauma plates? Think about it, I will be defending my home. But what if the intruder guy shoots me before I shoot him? Well, at least I will have body armor and he won’t…before I pepper him with 00 buckshot.
I dont own any body armor, but I disagree with most of the answers so far in that body armor, much like having a firearm in the first place can be implemented into your home defense plan AND save your life.
If an invasion happens at night, while you are in bed asleep, you hopefully have an alarm, barking dog, or hear something to alert you that someone has entered your home.
Hopefully, you also have at least one locked door between you and the intruder. My bedroom has a locked entry door, and I can go into the master bathroom, and lock that door, and further into a walk in closet (which houses my rifle and shotgun) and lock that door as well, creating 3 barriers between the intruder and my wife and I.
This would allow me time to slip on body armor, grab my rifle, and leave the walk in closet and bathroom as a first line of defense and protect my wife.
If its multiple armed intruders hopped up on something on the other side of that door, I want body armor, hi cap magazines, and anything I can get my hands on to protect my life and my family.
