February 16, 2018Reality star Kim Zolciak-Biermann (wife of Kroy Biermann, previously of the Atlanta Falcons) posted about her fear as a mother given the tragic Florida high school shooting.
Refusing to feel entirely helpless, she posted that she had purchased the following:
I don’t blame her. I know parents are looking for anything and everything they can think of to protect their children.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann is attempting to protect her kids in the wake of the horrific high school shooting that took place in Parkland, Florida.
After a mass shooting unfolded Wednesday inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in South Florida, the mother of six — she is mom to Brielle, 20, Ariana, 16, KJ, 6, Kash, 5, and twins Kaia and Kane, 4 — revealed that she had purchased bulletproof backpacks for her children.
“I just asked Kroy what can we do as parents to protect our children everyday in this crazy sad world,” she said about a conversation she had with her husband, Kroy Biermann, after news of the shooting broke.
“He said, ‘best thing we could do for now is get bullet proof book bags,’ ” the Don’t Be Tardy star wrote in the Instagram caption, which accompanied a screenshot of the black backpack — valued at $114.29. “You know I just did!”“It’s better than not having anything at all,” she continued. “Just thought I would share with you guys. I just found this first on Amazon so I bought it. It’s certified.”
I don’t know that I really trust these… I don’t know what they’re “certified” to withstand…but she’s probably right…. it might be better than nothing.
She’s not the only one. Apparently demand for similar backpacks has skyrocketed.
There has been a run on bulletproof backpacks in the aftermath of the slaughter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School … TMZ has learned.
A company called Bullet Blocker sells the fortified knapsacks for anywhere between $200 and $500. We’re told the company sold 500 of the bags Thursday, a 30% spike in regular sales since the shooting.
The company’s owner, Joe Curran, tells us the majority of the backpacks sold this week are headed to Florida.
The item is made with a Kevlar lining and weighs about 4 1/2 pounds.
Joe’s company sells a bunch of bulletproof gear on a regular basis, but he says Thursday, backpacks were at the top of his sales list, and most of those sales were in Florida.
BTW … the company also sells bulletproof luxury items, like Gucci bomber jackets and Hermes bags.
A sign of the times.
What do you think? Would you buy one of these for your child?
