Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 14. Earlier this month, in June, the State of New York made the decision to ban certain types of body armor – specifically, soft body armor commonly referred to as a bulletproof vest. Politics aside, the restriction of access to this type of equipment is something that is both confusing and almost counterintuitive in my opinion. That’s why this week for TFB Weekly Web Deals 14 we’re on the hunt for the best deals for soft body armor, hard body armor plates, and plate carriers. Right now is a great time to pick up body armor as there are lots of sales out there. Plate carriers are becoming less and less expensive, and there are rigorous and reliable organizations that properly vet the effectiveness of various types of body armor so you know exactly what you’re buying and what kind of protection you can expect from it. Please enjoy this week’s selection of web deals!
