When I first heard of Bullet Resistant Backpacks for school children, I nearly fell over in my chair. The thought of sending my child out into a war zone each morning, is just more than I can fathom. However, I am aware that there are some parents who feel they simply are unable to homeschool their child for whatever reason.
You certainly have to give this innovative company credit for finding a need and attempting to fill it. Isn't that what's at the heart of being a good business man or woman?
If you are concerned about your child's safety while attending public school, the very best thing you can do for your child is to pull them out and homeschool them. If that is not an option for you and your family then by all means, consider checking into this nifty backpack.
Personal Protection for Students
With the recent tragedies in Ohio, Tennessee, California, and many others, we wanted to share this new discrete defensive protective device, which has been recognized in the Washington Post, NY Post and Gizmodo.
While we can not control the environment we live in, we try to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
BackPackShield Manufacturing announced a series of Level IIIA bullet resistant portable shields for student backpacks, computer bags, brief cases and other portable cases and bags. Impermeable to most all handgun bullets, the shields are portable and can be moved between backpacks and bags securing the investment offering years of use.
The patented bullet resistant Dupont Kevlar™ BackPackShield™ is a light weight armor panel insert manufactured with the most advanced and lightest aerospace ballistic composite material available. Manufactured with more than ten layers of bullet resistant Dupont Kevlar™ fabric, which has ten times the tensile strength of steel, the layers are bound and epoxy impregnated into a sheet less than ½" thick and weighing less than a typical textbook.
Retailing for $249, for a standard size which fits most student backpacks, the shields are available in more than 10 colors to allow discretion, or personalization. The BackPackShields come with an installation kit with removable Velcro™, which allows easy removal, washing, and portability.
"Unlike weaker level II ballistic curtains that are permanently sewn into bags, BackPackShields are manufacturer to a much higher National Institute of Justice (N.I.J.) Level IIIA specification." said Kerry Clark, President of BackPackShield and Defense Contractor and Supplier Amptec Research Corp. "Level IIIA protection specifications can stop even the hardened full metal jacketed high velocity handgun bullets including 9 mm and 44 Magnum that pass right through a level II bullet-proof liner."
A full line of shields are available which support common laptop computer carrying cases from most manufacturers including; Dell, HP, Sony and Toshiba. Custom sizes and shapes can also be ordered. Additional information, prices and specifications are available on the company's web site at Backpackshield.com.
