I wear mine for training.  But I have others that sit in the closet or trunk.


Training, or shooting?

Isn't shooting part of your training?

As I said, I have several.

One gets used for training with my military position.  It gets worn almost every time I'm on the range or in the field. We don't do anywhere as much field stuff as our Army counterparts though.

I have a slick carrier that rides in my vehicle.  I also use it when I'm teaching.

I keep another in the closet next to my bed. It was the one I bought for mil use before they issued us our current ones after switching to OCPs.

I wore an iba with 6 loaded mags for walking a route for years.

Nobody called the cops.  

My back and knees have not gotten better.

And you are a man who is wise in the ways of fashion and fully understands that all chaps are assless.

“Shooting” is practicing an already learned skill

Training is learning a new skill from a subject matter expert.

Coaching is refining an already learned skill under supervision of a SME.

I wore mine to a class once.  Other than that, I've got one set up for 556, one for 308 and one for PCC and they all pretty much hang in the closet.  Soft armor sees way more use than the hard plates.

I now wear my covert carrier weekly on Shabbat since Oct 7th attacks on Israel. I am volunteer security at my synagogue. Before I only wore plates on just high holy days but I've since kept my Hesco U210 plates in my covert carrier.  Probably for a long time I think.  My Ferro carrier is just hanging limp in my closet like a frankfurter casing with the meat removed from the inside.

Is more the yard when you burn down the neighbors to add to your yard?

Mostly closet nowadays.  

Have spent plenty of time wearing them though.  Compared to heavy vests + plates, a plate carrier setup is fucking heaven to wear…

I was wearing lvl IV plates on J6.

That said, I don't generally wear plates unless there's known hinky shit going on.

As we move closer and closer to war, that may happen more often.
