RW>JL>        What's the point in that law?...
RW>EP> Only a criminal would wear a vest to protect himself
RW>EP> from police bullets. Since the general public won't
RW>EP> be shot at by the police, they don't need the vests.
RW>Ernie, I hope you are just stating the warped logic of
RW>the people who thought up such a stupid law and not
RW>your own opinion.
        Sorry, Rich. I was trying to state the "logic" behind the law;
        as seen by the people who supported it. I think you'd have to be
        ignorant or dumber than a box of rocks to support legislation
        like that. EP
RW>The best form of defence against dying in a shoot out
RW>with a criminal is to be wearing a vest.  That way even
RW>it he shoots first you stand a very good chance of
RW>surviving!  I have never understood any law that makes
RW>free people softer targets.
        Neither have I; but there seems to be a lot of cowards running
        around these days. And they want the rest of us made as helpless
        as they feel. Ernie P.
