The Truth About Civilian Body Armor | Armored Republic

GOALS 2026 Episode 5 takes us inside the State of the Second podcast studio for a conversation with Armored Republic about something we believe deserves a lot more attention in the civilian firearms community: body armor. We talk about civilian armor ownership, the role body armor can play in personal preparedness, what Armored Republic is building for everyday Americans, and why education around protective equipment matters just as much as the firearms themselves.
