This problem won't resolve itself.

The practical problem is ontological.

Unjust, ineffective, and not truly about making civilians safer. In this article, we explore AB 92's intentions and consequences. We also explain what we're doing in response and what you can do as well.

Armored Republic is on a mission to equip at least 3% of American Free Men with the body armor that equips them to be a bulwark against tyranny. This idea is foreign to Americans in many places, but with the advancement of guns and armor to new fronts, we can help America discover what America is about. We want to offer Free Men best gear at the best price. For ten years, we’ve been remarkably successful in this effort. Here’s how 2023 has continued and will be continuing the march.

The first Americans knew that authority does not come from the end of a gun; authority comes from God. He grants limited authority to the government if a process is followed by the people to elect representatives among themselves. Guns are used to keep claims of authority in check. To encourage reflection on this fact, our theme this month is No King But Christ. In a republic, Christ alone bears complete authority.

Armored Republic has always urged Free Men to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. However, in times like these, the “worst” may loom large in our minds; tyranny and foolishness can drive the red-pilled among us to discontentment. But this month, we want to call America’s Free Men to remember the mercies of He who is our strength and shield, and give thanks.

If you have ever worn a plate carrier for an extended period of time, you may have come to find that it's not a pleasant experience. The weight of armor plates, lack of or worn out shoulder padding, and improper plate carrier adjustment are some of the primary culprits that can lead to discomfort.

Sometimes, the strength to continue is a scarce thing. Especially as things like economic recession and failure become more than a prediction that’s brushed under the rug, and acts like the Inflation Reduction Act do anything but reduce inflation, responsible Free Men are having to prioritize what’s most important.

Last month, Armored Republic celebrated 10 years of equipping Free Men with Tools of Liberty. This month, we’re continuing the march forward. In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul speaks of walking in unity with that which we have already attained, which we shall do; 10 years after its founding, Armored Republic remains true to its original mission, to equip civilians with the ability to be useful proponents of liberty.

In 2012, the civilian body armor market did not exist. Body armor was for people who worked in tactical environments for a living; police officers and soldiers were equipped, but very few civilians had even considered the concept. Most body armor companies hated the idea of selling body armor to the free men of America. This month, Armored Republic is celebrating its 10-Year Anniversary. We have worked as a force against the elitism that used to be present in the body armor world; since 2012, the civilian body armor market has exploded with individuals ready to protect themselves and their loved ones.
