I'm pretty sure that I heard somewhere that duct taping two trauma plates together would cover that scenario.
In light of these Walmart incidents...

We need to find a volunteer to test theory.

If you are ready to die, then by all means proceed with your thoughts on this matter. Let us examine a more realistic scenario. Have you eve been in a fist fight or been in a situation where you were accosted by someone wanting to do you extreme harm without any reason? Only you an answer just how ready you are to die. Odds are in a shooter vs shooter scenario, you will die. Being shot is not like the TV or movies. It tears gaping holes of flesh and bone our of your body. A .223 round will shatter any bone it hits and do more damage than you can imagine.
Reminds me of the guy letting his girlfriend shoot him with the .50 Desert Eagle while holding the encyclopedias.

If I remember rightly the section on "Dumbass" was permanently bookmarked.

AMEN !
You shouldn't carry a gun so you can be a hero, you should carry one because sometimes you might not be able to run away, or attempts to de-escalate have failed.
I'm not going to willingly choose to go after a guy with a rifle if all i have is a pistol

Friend from the range called. His Marlin 795 won't cycle right. Trigger won't reset and the breech block gets real tight at odd times. Even when hand cycling. Getting ready to disassemble.
Had a JC Higgens do the same thing once. Had what looked liked a piece of shaved bullt stuck in it.

What was the name of that fellow that saw a suspicious backpack/package that he thought (for whatever reason) could be an IED and began moving people out of the area to safety shortly before it went off, confirming his suspicion.
Investigators questioned numerous witnesses that identified him as the one that initiated moving people away from what he referred to as a bomb/suspicious object, then LEA’s announced he was a suspect and may have staged the incident. They thought it was all too coincidental.
He went from hero to pariah and social outcast in a matter of days. Lost pretty much everything and was affected for years despite being cleared.
Hell of a price to pay.

That was the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta where the FBI under that Idiot Louis Freeh accused security guard Richard Jewel of setting it, when in reality it was a guy named Eric Rudolph, who liked blowing up abortion clinics.
I see what you did there

If Walmart barely provides concealment, why is it so hard to find the other members of my fa
You mentioned accomplices. Accomplices in this sort of situation are rare, but they can kill you. That happened to Joseph Robert Wilcox in Las Vegas a few years ago. He went to confront the man with his concealed carry and was shot from behind the man's wife. Wilcox was killed.

That was my point, unless you see what is going on, there are too many unknowns to go Lone Ranger on criminals.

Exactly!!!! Just providing you a real world example that fit the issue.
And an example where two separate LTC holders respond, not knowing about each other.

While it turned out well, it should be educational.

Thanks for finding that. I remembered that incident.
I met a Lt. with the LVMPD. He’s the BIL of a close friend. He was talking to me about that incident. His perspective was that he admired Mr. Wilcox’s bravery and thought it was sad and unfortunate that he died. He didn’t criticize his actions, to me.
Frankly, I think everyone should make the best decision they can based on the situation and their capabilities. The wisest action is often to escape from the scene asap.
However, I’m not going to criticize someone for fighting back or protecting the lives of others. Most (not all) of these “mass shooters” are untrained, weak, incel cowards who seem to fold or commit suicide at the first sign of resistance.
IMO, hiding or seeking cover is usually a bad strategy since most materials in stores won’t come close to stopping a bullet.
