I'd have to look it up. It probably won't stop 5.56 or 7.62 buy it's better than nothing.what will a level III panel stop, and at what distance?

I would agree, I wonder if a kid has 2 textbooks in the backpack what they will stop.I'd have to look it up. It probably won't stop 5.56 or 7.62 buy it's better than nothing.
That is the most important issue. The world we live in, how you feel is more important than reality.I can't fathom how a backpack with a kevlar panel could be more a weapon than a backpack with a couple of hard back text books in it. The other two issues I give you, but the fear of all things "tactical" is getting just a bit rich.
Wow! Lots went on since i first posted yesterday. To answer a few of the questions or clarify my reasoning.
I will be having a discussion with my son that he need not talk to anyone about the back pack. It really is no one elses business what he has. My concern is not the administration or school district finding out, I don't need some turd finding out about the type of backpack and some low-life stealing it if he had a chance. Should the admistration find out about my son have the bulletproof pack and not allow it my next stop would be to the local media.
I'm well aware that these level IIIA panels stop up to a 240gr 44mag round and are not a Level IV but it is better than nothing and can hope and pray that with his additional text books, binders and all the other crap he dumps into his backpack that it will have some additional resistance/proofness to .223 rounds. I took a hard look at the Level IV panels but they were just too thick and heavy to be feasible in his pack.
In the end, I'm doing whatever i can do to keep my boy safe while in school.
