4 Uses for Personal Shields

Shields are one of the best investments that you can make in terms of personal safety. Here are just four environments where they might save your life some day.

1. Home

This is the most common reason why people buy personal shields. In addition to their security systems or emergency firearms, they also want the protection of a tactical shield that can cover both themselves and their family members in the event of an emergency. You never know when a burglar might strike, so it's important to be prepared.

2. Work

Are you worried about disgruntled employees? Have you received threats because of your organization's history or political purpose? A personal shield can go a long way towards giving you peace of mind. You don't have to keep it stashed under your desk; you can put it in a supply closet somewhere. As long as it's nearby when you need it, you'll feel much better about your safety at work.

3. School

It's a sad fact that school shootings are more common than ever. Rather than waiting for trouble to find your classroom, however, you can prepare for the worst by investing in a tactical ballistic shield. Not only can it protect your own body, but it can also be a barrier between your students and whatever danger is causing a lockdown. It can be used for everyone's benefit.

4. Training

Shields can be a great way to optimize any police or military training that you're undergoing. Instead of trying to hit paper targets with your gun, you can fire at a shield like you might face in the real world. Shields are also useful for hunters; you can practice firing at their bulk while pretending that you're shooting at the chest of a deer or bear.

These are just a few ways that you might use a personal shield. There are many more, so don't feel limited by the suggestions presented here. If you think that something requires the use of a shield, it's better not to take any chances. Buy one and be safe.
