That's what my training has been. If they're wearing obvious armor (military tactical stuff like IBAS) shoot for the pelvis. That translates, in a civilian situation, to transfering your POA to the pelvis if you suspect armor.

It would also work for a crack head... even if he doesn't feel the pain, he'll still have reduced mobility with shattered hip joints.

I've got an old PASGT fragmentation vest that I keep around for TSHTF scenarios, but after checking out the "Box O' Truth" website I might spring for a lightly used level II or II-A from bulletproofme.com... I wonder how effective wearing the level II under the PASGT would be? When I first got to Iraq this last time I wore a PASGT until they could get me an IBAS... so I wore my tanker spall vest under it, I figured any extra protection had to help. The spall vest is maybe equivelent to level I.
