[quote name=\'Zephyr 351C\']Eh, that was years ago. Now I just work 40 to 50 something hours a week.
I\'m not trying to make you nervous, but IIRC most body armor (take for example level IIIA, which is what I think is common for for patrolmen) doesnt do much for stabbing weapons. But I dont know much about current body armor, I havent looked into it a whole lot since I decided not to go into LE. Being as tall as you are, you should be thinking about your legs. If I were a drunk trying to stick you with a shank, I\'d go for you leg, especially if I knew you were wearing a vest.
WTF are you doing breaking up fights and dragging drunks around?[/QUOTE]
I dob\'t remember all of the info on the vest, but I can\'t imagine it will do shit for a knife :lol:.. The big issue is coverage, the vest is built for a normal sized person. Although they fit me, coverage is so so. You are right about the legs part, most people would likely hit my leg/balls/stomach. I am wearing a cup for my peice of mind, and for my legs I will just have on thick jeans.
As far as what am I doing dragging drunks around, and breaking up fights, I am going to be working with the police department, at the worlds largest music festival

. I am an intern with the department, I will be hanging out with officers all night for 11 days. Anything that happens I will be there to see it. If a fight breaks out, I am going to assist the officers. Things could get out of hand, but we shal see...
Hey since I have you here, what semi auto handgun would you recommend for 600$ and under? I want something that has some power, built for a big handed person, good build quality, and that sort of thing. I am looking for a good gun for the range, so I can pratice. I have tried a .45 CZ, and loved it minus the grips. I also tried out what I think is a 9mm CZ, and it was a bit to small in size. The .44 mag DE I shot was fun, but hardly pratical as my only gun at the range (not to mention I would get tired of the recoil lol). What I would really like is some ideas, so next time I am at the shop I can try out some of them.
One day I will get a DE though, its to much fun to fire. I love when people come in and start to fire little 9mm and like guns. One shot from the De sounds like a bomb compared to what the other people were firing. The fireball was nuts though :lol:...
