All right now one of the things it has happened in the wake of the shooting is a Utah company that makes bullet proof.
Backpacks.
Has seen orders skyrocket -- bullet -- Backpacks.
To kids we have a piece on this -- foxnews.com.
Right now it is written by Joshua Rhett Miller who joins us.
In this -- studio right now.
Josh really bulletproof backpacks.
Unfortunately yeah since Friday he had these products and they are.
Produced by amendment to which is based in -- -- -- in the company yeah -- -- a 500%.
Since.
Friday.
I was unable to get the details of exactly how many have been sold but -- This is a company let's say hang it there's obviously -- need -- -- and so don't.
Basically going -- it's not just backpacks they do bulletproof vests to kids as well.
They have -- tactical vest which is 499.
Dollars and these backpacks they started 300 they go up to 400.
It's basically a flexible.
-- material that they call it's rhino hide right and basically what the idea is if there's a school shooting a kid could.
Potentially hold up the backpack and get themselves.
In back and men and potentially stop -- 357 Magnum bullet -- I don't see the -- can see the the rationale behind it of course all but why how what a commentary on.
On the way we -- well let me that your kid paranoid different sets want to give him the you know gee that's risen all I can hope is that the numbers supporting the 500% increase or they sold one before -- rifle fire that's.
-- -- that's my only hope there.
And I think that perhaps.
That is the case because there where they basically bought that telling how many that they had sole bright pink blue and so it's a 500 percentage.
Increase that could one point five yeah right -- since there's there's go to be a better way then.
Giving our kids bulletproof backpack.
That's that was not the answer they may be some answers about think that's it.
Right -- -- -- it wasn't cause our question of the day leaving weighing in the so far around 30% of you saying yes you would.
By a bulletproof backpack for -- -- Majority here just 57%.
As saying you know you wouldn't and thinking about it 13% of you I guess though I mean -- it.
It's it's question -- -- -- -- themselves in the in the wake of this is as sad as it is but yet and I mean as a parent myself.
It's a sickening.
That you waste rent do you have to think about -- but.
As -- said I suppose this company and they've actually getting hate mail.
From as far away really as Italy right and they're saying hey don't.
-- blame must there's obviously some coming in for it.
And there is a technology out there that could potentially help your can see why not.
All right.
Just -- for -- -- dot com and as the sage of season article on these bulletproof backpacks.
Is -- a folksy dot com if you wanna take a look at it -- Josh thank you very much.
