    They’re wearing body armor. Dude with a concealed gun likely ends up dead, and ICE gets no charges because they were afraid.

      Kevlar isn’t magic. For a pistol round, it might absorb a bunch of the energy, but it’s still like getting kicked in the chest by a horse. And that’s only for one. Or, if they’re ceramic plates, they become much less effective after the first impact.

      And that’s for a pistol. Consider if they come to the wrong house and the person at the door has a shotgun.
