Thanks - I was about to go searching for them lol.We've had the "Don't Clear Your House" thread* many many times already.
(* Here's probably the most recent one: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=7770914. Another: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=529243 ... there are lots, all with about the same answers.)
In general, I don't think body armor is a bad idea to have ready. On the other hand, I know people who think having a "nightstand gun" is borderline paranoid schizophrenia.
It depends on your mindset, which is going to be impacted by your life experiences, and how they differ from the experiences of others. I would expect that a huge majority of people who have served in the military (which includes me), as well as many LEOs to think body armor is more prudent than ridiculous. Conversely, I would expect most civilians who have never worked in an armed position, or any position of public safety to find this entire topic to be ridiculous.
