Zrazhevskiy said those who are now purchasing bulletproof backpacks are not necessarily survivalists, but rather everyday ordinary people wanting to add an extra safety measure for their children in the case of a shooting scenario.

Bulletproof backpacks can be bought in several places from Academy to Amazon.com, home and office supply stores, and other sports outlets and survivalists retailers.
