Do bullet proof vests provide protection against rifles?
Bullet proof vests normally provide very little to no protection at all
against bullets fired from rifles (like the M4 carbine 5.56mm or AK-47
7.62mm). They only provide protection against bullets fired from all hand guns.

The Legality of carrying a police baton
In most countries it is legal for law enforcement and military officials to carry. For a civilian to carry a police baton varies from country to country.
Within the United states the laws regarding carrying and pocessing a police baton change from state to state. In some states like Vermont and Arizona one is able to legally carry a baton if you don't have criminal intent or unlawful behaviour. On the other end of the spectrum states like California prohibit the carrying of any club like weapons by a civilian.
In the UK the prevention of crime act of 1953 prohibited the carrying of batons in a public space because they are objects that are adapted for causing harm to another person. The UK also has laws about the manufacturing, selling and importing batons.
Probably one of the most leanient countries in regards to carrying police batons is Canada. They have no laws against carrying a baton in a public area so long as it is not spring loaded or being carried consealed. While in Sweden one is permitted to own a baton so long as they don't carry it in a public space if they are a private citizen.
Echo boots sole disentgrating
If you go to an ecco store they can provide you with a bag and paper to fill out and you can send them back to ecco and have them resoled. It's really not that expensive when you think about the cost of the ecco.

Baton won't open
It could be stuck from dirt or rust. Remove the but cap and check the inside for debris/rust and also the tension spring to be sure it's not too tight. If you get it open again, clean it and keep a light oil on the baton, like WD-40.

A simple mixture of 3 ingredients will make any and all of your clothing into...
I used to be afraid that one day my house would catch on fire and that my children's clothing wouldn't be fire resistant and how unsafe that would be. I spent time online doing research and found a very simple and easy to follow recipe for a flame retardant that can be applied to clothing.
What you have to do is wash your clothes like you do normally and rinse as normally. Using a bucket mix 1 gallon of water with 9 ounces of Mule Team Borax and 4 ounces of boric acid (adjust amounts according to the ratio 1:9:4). Soak the clothing in this mixture, squeeze out the excess liquid and dry normally.
When ever you wash the clothing you should reapply the flame retardant because it washes out in the laundry.
If you want to make clothing that cannot be soaked fire retardant then what you can do is pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray a light layer on to the clothing. Allow it to dry and just like regular clothing after washing reapply the mixture to ensure its still fire retardant.
Please also note that this does not make your clothes fire repellent, this will make them less likely to catch fire in the case of a fire.
