Tropical Thunder. A Plate Carrier like no other

[rm_rang]

Meh, I think the guys just pointing out the obvious. He isn't saying you shouldn't be allowed to buy it. Knock yourselves out, play army at the range.

I guess what I'm getting at is this:

Right now, shouldn't we be trying to show the general public that we as hunters and sport shooters are just that; hunters and sport shooters. I can't speak for everywhere or every organization but my range won't let us shoot targets resembling people. For ispc my understanding is they don't want you to even wear combat fatigues, as well as shooting targets not resembling people. This is because they don't want the public to think we are training for getting into a gunfight. Buying stuff like body Armour "Just because" wouldn't help our case with the "fudds" you guys speak of. Like buddy said go ahead fill your boots and play army. Im not saying we shouldnt be allowed to have them, i have LOTS i dont need but want just because, but it's not the best for the firearms community image right now IMO

Lmao keeping preaching about optics in the community. Dunno if you realized yet but the boat of public image and opinion sailed a long time ago and if you think the term sporting rifle apply to things like ARs, just hand your gear and guns in, the community is better off without.

That mindset and apologetic horse#### is what's put us where we are today.

Wearing an extra 30 pounds of kit (assuming you put plates in your plate carrier) just because you can is fun? I wish they had of told me that when I was in the infantry, I probably would have stayed a little longer

That's ok, sounds like you probably weren't cut out for it anyways

The only person who decides whether they need a plate carrier is the person buying one. Nobody else gets to tell them if they need it or not.

Kudos to SJ, unique product Canadian made. If Haiti is ever a go the forces would blend right in with this carrier brilliant even Trudeau would approve. Keep it light and have fun.
