What's Your Opinion?

Question: Some manufacturers are coming out with school
backpacks they say are bulletproof that cost upwards of $150. Would you buy
one?
 | | "Yes, I would, because kids in society today - with adolescents carrying guns - you could never be too cautious. I'd rather be safe than sorry for the sake of my children." Oleisha Stennett, Canarsie

 | | "Are they serious? I wouldn't buy it. If I had to buy my child a bulletproof backpack, he wouldn't be going to that school. Definitely- No bulletproof backpack for my son." Eric Hernandez, Williamsburg
|
|
 | | "Yeah. I would buy one for my daughter. This way, she has protection not only in school but in the neighborhood, if trouble arises." Jonathan Santiago, Canarsie

|
 | | "For $150 you'd be better off if you bought your child a gun instead of a bulletproof backpack. Absolutely no! If you're going to get shot, you're going to get shot, regardless. I would spend some money for added protection, but not a bulletproof backpack." Rafael Garcia, Bushwick
