There have been more than 200 mass shootings in 2022 thus far. Sadly, at the time of this article, we are only 146 days into the year. That means there have been roughly 1.4 mass shootings per day since the beginning of the year. 

According to FBI statistics, the overwhelming majority of these shooting incidents involve handguns. Yes, a percentage do involve AR-15s. However, for the most part, the actors in these incidents are using handguns. This is most likely due to the fact that handguns are much more easily concealed than rifles. 

Recent advancements in body armor technology have lead to thinner, lighter and stronger protective panels. These lightweight panels can easily be stored in a child's backpack, a travel bag, in your vehicle or at your desk at work.
