A Handgun Would Have Been Useless Against the Theater Shooter Because He Was Wearing Body Armor

Advertising Disclosure
This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:
The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.
About "The Only Ones"
The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.
Comment House Rules
Keep them on topic. No spam. No threats against anyone except me. Do not feed trolls--I'll take out the trash. Try to keep it clean. I'm the final arbiter. If you don't like the rules, start your own damn blog.
Link Policy
WarOnGuns reciprocates links with liberty-oriented sites promoting the right to keep and bear arms for all peaceable individuals. If you have linked to me and don't see your site below, it's probably just because I haven't noticed it yet. Shoot me an email via the "Contact Form" (see above in this sidebar) if you want to fix that.
As a general rule I remove links for blogs that have been inactive for over one year.

I didn't see in the article how did they get killed. There was a police officer who died in the line of duty, and Clinton shamelessly used him to argue for his gun ban. Trouble was, he died in a car crash, not from being shot.
Anyway, this is why we have the drill "Two to the chest, one to the head."
I have seen reported in several places that he was wearing a tactical vest not body armor. I am not looking at the case file to know if he was or not but we all know the media never gets things wrong.
If he was infact only wearing a tactical vest a Handgun would have provide quite effective.
Good tip--I'll look into it. All the "Authorized Journalist" accounts I've read have basically said this guy was Iron Man.
Here's a statement by Tacticalgear.com regarding the so-called bullet proof vest they sold him:

And here's a picture of it:

Bet the media doesn't report this!
One can wear a tactical vest in addition to body armor. In fact, some tactical vests double as a carrier for bullet-resistant vests. At the price point in question from tacticalgear.com, the vest would seem only to be a carrier for equipment and NOT resistant to bullets by itself.

David,
Our humble President of VCDL had this to say:

... featuring Lori "almost comical" Haas.
The best body armor the U.S. Army issues will not stop a measly 7.62X51 at 400 YARDS!!! Even when the bullet doesn't penetrate, the impact of the projectile will get someone's attention. Even one person pouring fire into an armored shooter can make a difference.
