FYI, those vests are very commonly worn on the subway; construction workers are required to wear them on the job sites, so many have them on when they commute. My son is one of them. 🙂

I'm sorry, but I must disagree with you my friend. If 25% of the NYC population walked around with guns and a shooting happened, how the hell would the NYPD know the good guys from the bad guys? Talk about sidelining the police, they would likely be afraid to engage at all for fear of hitting a good guy. And what about the good guys?? They pull out their weapons and open fire, thinking they're doing the right thing and end up killing an innocent bystander. Can you imagine how that would affect their lives not to mention their insurance premiums??

To be honest, when you think about the number of people that ride the NYC subway every day - over 3 MILLION - it's a wonder that stuff like this doesn't happen weekly. And yet it doesn't. You can't stop a crazy person from doing a crazy thing.

I was regularly commuting from the Upper West Side to Brooklyn for work a few years ago, [SPOILER]boarding a packed, standing room only train coming south from the Bronx at 7:45am. I thought many time how easy it would be for someone to board at train way uptown before it fills up, leave behind a bag with a timed explosive once the train began filling up and no one would notice. [/SPOILER] If anyone thinks I should edit/remove this paragraph, I'll be happy to.

My SIL works in the NYPD dept. that coordinates these type of efforts. 😎
