#Roommates, the entire 8th grade class at a middle school in Pennsylvania left their graduation with a gift to prepare them for high school.
According to the New York Post, all the students were given bulletproof, military-style shields for their backpacks as a present.
The products are called SafeShield and are made by Unequal Technologies, a sports gear and protective gear company. They have a 10-by-12-inch panel and 20-ounce plate.
Handguns are useless against a product like this. Shotguns are useless against a product like this, said Rob Vito, the companys president. Theyll stop the most powerful handguns in the world .44 Magnums, .357 Sigs. However, the product reportedly does not protect against semi-automatic rifles.
I never thought Id need this, one student said according to Fox 29.
Thoughts, Roommates? Should all students be gifted with these bulletproof shields?
