Costco Inflation Check!

Better Body Armor and a CCW Option
I’ve been looking into body armor again. It’s been a long time since I’ve purchased anything, and it appears that things have come a long way from heavy steel plates and uncomfortable carriers. While ceramic plates were an option back then, they were expensive. Not anymore, because at RMA Defense, you can get 10″x12″ ceramic…
