Man, I can't wait for them to try to grab someone with concealed carry.
They're wearing body armor. Dude with a concealed gun likely ends up dead, and ICE gets no charges because they were afraid.
I don't see any Kevlar on their faces.
Odds of shooting somebody in face when you are ambushed by a larger group of armed men are low.
Kevlar isn't magic. For a pistol round, it might absorb a bunch of the energy, but it's still like getting kicked in the chest by a horse. And that's only for one. Or, if they're ceramic plates, they become much less effective after the first impact.
And that's for a pistol. Consider if they come to the wrong house and the person at the door has a shotgun.
The problem is that you're probably not lying in wait with a mythical concealed-carry shotgun. Realistic sequences that have happened in the recent past:
- A couple guys wearing utility company uniforms ask to step inside to diagnose a problem. They then jump you and arrest you.
- Your camera system stops working due to jamming. Then 15 armed men break through your door and surprise you while you're asleep in bed.
- Several people in the crowd at your kid's graduation ceremony suddenly surround you and zip-tie your wrists before you realize what's going on.
You're going to be dealing with a situation where you don't see in advance what's happening, and where you're confronted with a whole batch of people who are heavily armed and wearing body armor. That's a situation where one individual acting alone is very unlikely to succeed in killing an assailant with a gun.
police arrest armed people all the time. or they shoot them.
even having two naked guys with guns vs one body armored guy with a gun puts the odds in the naked guys' favor.
