(Newswire.net — June 28, 2016) La Verne, California — The recent terrorist attacks in Orlando, Florida and in the Los Angeles area have put personal protection at the forefront of people’s minds. The experts at Striker® Targets in La Verne, California have weighed in on some of the options consumers have in selecting personal protection and safety items with which to defend themselves and loved ones from bullet wounds. In particular, soft body armor options are a popular choice owing to their lightweight nature and ballistic resistance. “Violence can occur at a moment’s notice,” says a company spokesman for the body armor manufacturing company. “Being prepared can mean the difference between life and death if a shooting takes place in public or even at home.”
The company’s own soft body armor plate carrier side insert, rated to Level IIIA protection according to standards established by the National Institute of Justice, can easily be slipped into a bag or purse for personal protection. These side plates measure six inches by eleven inches and are ¼” thick, and are made from ballistic-resistant ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plastic. To learn more about these plates, visit the company’s product page at www.strikertargets.com/striker-soft-body-armor-plate-carrier-side-insert-small-6-x-11/.
Another option is the company’s bulletproof backpack panel, designed to be slipped into a small backpack such as carried by commuters and students. These specially-cut panels are made from the same polyethylene plastic as the smaller side panels and meet the same ballistic ratings. For more information on the backpack panels, visit www.strikertargets.com/striker-tactical-bulletproof-backpack-panel-11-x-14/. The Level IIIA rating can defend against projectiles as large as .44 Magnum and common 9mm ammunition, and represents the highest level of protection in a concealable format. Plates meeting these standards can be found in use by law enforcement officials, government agencies, and military personnel around the world.
Striker® Targets and Tactical Gear also produces a line of AR500 steel armor plates crafted at their California headquarters. These steel plates are designed to stop common rifle calibers and are made for wear in a nylon plate carrier to protect the wearer’s vital organs. “We want people to feel safe going about their daily activities,” says the company spokesperson. “Our concealable body armor panels can provide that extra peace of mind when violence strikes.” For more information on the company and their wide range of products, visit www.strikertargets.com.
