Pencil boxes, markers, lunch boxes, and bulletproof backpacks. All things some parents are putting on back-to-school lists for their kids returning to school soon.

If you're considering buying a bulletproof backpack for yourself or your loved ones, there are a few things you should know about them first:
- Bulletproof backpacks only protect against handguns.
- Bulletproof backpacks can be expensive.
- Bulletproof backpacks don't last forever.
- The Justice Department certifies bulletproof products.
