I have it JUST in case, I have it for police ranges where it is mandated. If I am at a range where the gun handeling makes me that nervus I will just leave! J.Michael

. . . and would not shoot at a range if I though I needed it.

I'm not knocking anyone who does, but that's not for me.

..it didn't last long. When we have rifle or shotgun matches it can bring lots of "non match" shooters out of the woodwork. (guys that aren't regulars, that don't shoot all the other matches). I guess it's a chance for them to break out their SHTF/Zombie Apocalypse/Canadian Invasion gear. Last July's rifle match we had a number of guys with plate carriers and the full getup. Most of them had shed them by mid match. lol

Why would I pose and wear it now? That's my view... Now, I'd like to hear more about what ranges require it or was that just police ranges requiring people to wear what they are supposed to wear on the job?

I wear ear and eye protection. If I worry about safety around other people then I go elsewhere.

I have been thinking about getting a vest but don`t know where to buy, or what`s the best one to get . any body have any input for me??

wearing it.

for a gift, when he started his night shooting classes...he was already wearing a vest.
I have worn it on occasion for classes. I considered wearing my plate carrier for the the last gunsite course but opted out due to the heat. As it was most guys, including me quickly dropped their MOLLE/LBE gear and went to a couple single trouser belt mounted mag pouches and a dump bag. I am building a new Surefire 50 round mag pouch two of those and one in the gun a guy would be set, for most things...
