BULLETPROOF BACKPACKS SALES INCREASE AFTER TEXAS SCHOOL SHOOTING

Sat 28 May 2022:

School shootings have been a major issue in the United States for some time, and they were once again in the spotlight following the attack on a Texas elementary school. A teenage gunman opened fire in the school, killing at least 19 children and two adults in the bloodiest school shooting in the United States since Sandy Hook.

According to Business Insider, as a result of the incident, sales of bulletproof backpacks have increased in a number of states across the country. Although there are a variety of bulletproof items on the market, the backpack for children remains the most popular.

According to the Insider report, four companies that create bulletproof products said that people are actively looking for products that can be used by kids in crisis situations after the Texas shooting.

According to the product description, a person can protect themselves by holding the bulletproof backpack in front of them to deflect the bullets. Yasir Sheikh, who is part of the Guard Dog Security, told Insider that there have been “an increase” in customers asking for that specific product.

Another company – MC Armor – also told Insider that New Jersey, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, and Florida are the states where the demand has increased substantially after the shooting.
