#2 PR, we here in Tennessee don't have a monopoly on Morons. They're everywhere.

#5 LOL, PR, no offense taken. The KKK leader who shot the new member in the head last fall was only about 25 miles from where I live. Talk about a bunch of Morons!

#6 The deceased young man Wright, was 20 years old, his friends are 20,19,& 18 and another witness !

Clearly, It's not the guns that were dangerous.

#7 What is with these test the vest types? I have a threat level 3 vest. I have no desire to see how it works, ever. I fully expect to end up in the hospsital if I ever need it. The laws of physics are not repealed by some modern man made materials.

#8 SPoD, right you are. A "bullet proof vest" may stop a round but you will have one HELL of a sore spot and possibly a broken rib, depending on where the round hit. The laws of physics don't disappear just because one has on a vest. A very good buddy had on one in Vietnam. A VC stepped out from behind a tree and was no more than 3 feet from him with an AK. Two rounds penetrated at that distance. The third didn't only because the first two knocked him into an angle where the third was only a glancing blow.

#9 A flak vest, such is this kid was wearing, is only designed to stop shrapnel and not a direct hit from a projectile.

Even a good vest will not stop all rounds, especially from 3-6 feet whent the rounds are at their best velocity. If this poor kid had shot his friend from, say 30 feet, he might have not killed him. Still would have put him into the hospital, though.
