Face shields cost only a few bucks. I don't think this achieves anything.
Are you even tacticool if you don't show up to your school shooting wearing one?
Pepper spray, especially fog-applied, is going to get around that.
they'll just ban private ownership of gas masks, same as they did with body armor in nys.
Could it get around safety goggles as well?
Like the kind you wear in a lab?
No, those are purpose-built to keep airborne contaminants out.
Eh, sometimes, a lot of lab goggles are vented and only really designed to block liquid splashes
Yeah, fair enough. I just didn't want to give them an "it depends" answer.
If they're worn properly, sure.
There's a reason firemen have mustaches.
