Since we are in Canada, the chances of getting shot (unless you live in Toronto) are pretty slim, depending on vocation.
From a security professionals perspective, getting stabbed is a much higher likelihood.
We take our IIIA rated anti-stab soft armour and simulate a stabbing strike with a tomahawk.
Why to 'hawk? It can generate way more striking force than a knife, so we decided it would be a better test.
