That's a very strange question to post on an internet forum, if you don't mind me saying so.
Quite normal for this site. We've had someone asking how to import an elephant, and another wanted to know how to remove the wings from a jet provost.Building a bulletproof briefcase is just run of the mill around these parts
what kind of tactical luggage would Sir/Madam require?

I looked at that site and think I can do a much better job. They are all pretty ugly and also heavy to carry around. I am aiming for something stylish and light weight.http://www.bulletblocker.com/bullet-proof-briefcas...

Surely even if the material would not be penetrated by a bullet the cross section of coverage to the body of a bag is tiny and the impact would rip the bag out of your arms anyway?
9mm won't move much, it normally stops dead on impact. 45 or 357 is another story, it'll hit hard, 7.62 will crack a plate, 5.56 can penetrate cheap plates. Zero Centurion Elite + DIY carbide/kevlar panels would be my choice

PH is a mine of information....
Don't take this the wrong way but you don't sound like you have much ballistics XP. People who are going to spend a reasonable sum on an item which should in theory save their life expect a bit of operational experience.
Its a fair idea but its a product that already exists and its not really suited to EDC.
The bottom line is for what you want for your situation a normal type 2 vest will do the job. Its going to work at all times and be much more covert, cheaper and probably more reliable.

No offence taken. You are quite right. red_slr said:

The idea is to make something that is cheap, lightweight and could help in the right circumstances. The very fact that it would only be the size of a briefcase is the first thing that would make it of limited use.
I am thinking much more of a situation where there is a random nutter in the street shooting and this would be better than nothing.
It would also make for a good talking point in the boardroom...
I've got a bulletproof watch...

I've just spent an evening in NY with a colleague who is categorically convinced that adding more guns to the streets with lower barriers to ownership is the route to increased security.Yanks are hilarious.
Oh, and encryption for everyone, the state can't be trusted.

A bag won't help you.
When 50OHMustache and I were running covert ops behind enemy lines in twenny oh two during Operation Desert Spider Strike Top Trump II we realised we needed light weight ballistic protection. Obviously bullets fired by the A-rabs weren't as powerful as as those blasted down range from our American (oh say can you see....) AR-19 'Freedom Givers' but we still needed protection as well as flexibility.
We assessed a number of potential solutions such as ---redacted --- and --redacted -- and even --redacted--!
In the end though the solution was simple - we become bullet proof ourselves. Each day for six months a team of the best boxers in our unit (Walrus Team 8) would pummel us all over our bodies non-stop for eight or more hours.
After being punched hard in the stomach over 1 million times my abs can now deflect most calibres (sorry calibers) up to and including .99 and no word of a lie I once saw 50OH take a direct hit to his cranium from an RPG and shrug it off.
My advice to you, OP, is to leave your nice brownstone and go to the nearest martial arts centre (sorry, center) and get them to beat you until bulletproof. That way you won't need no nancy-boy bag or a cowards-briefcase.
(note; no one has actually carried a briefcase since about 2005)
