Raylan gives him a truly incredulous look. "You do realize that the guy wearing that armor before you got shot, right?" He reached out with his good hand, though, to keep it from slipping down as Jim turns to try and get a strap.

"I think it's a lot of risk for a lot of maybes. But riots tend to get uglier before they stop, and I haven't got any better ideas. You want me to come down and watch you back?" Because it's crazy, but Raylan's drawing a blank, and Jim doesn't seem like he'll let a bit of risk to life and limb stop him.

(At Jim's age, Raylan probably wouldn't have either. It's debatable whether he will now.)
