As an instructor do you wear body armor while instructing live fire on the pistol range?
I also want to hear from a Student's perspective on what do you think of Instructors wearing body armor during live fire and proficiency on the range?
I usually wear a level IIA concealable vest during live fire with students on the range, but have started wearing level IIIA. My Son wears level III ceramic plates (He is an Instructor also).
Does it send a negative image/message to the Students?.
Please discuss......
