Lawmaker Recommends Bullet Proof Vests

Arizona state Rep. Bob Thorpe (R) sent an email to colleagues "inviting them to an event at the State Capitol to learn about tactical vests," KNXV-TV reports.

Thorpe wrote that the purpose of the event is "to inform our members about the costs and options for those wishing to purchase a vest for personal use, for example at town halls, parades and other events."
