       said load bearing shield cover has one or more release buckles for connecting to said drop-down shield cover containing said bullet resistant insert; 
       said release buckles on said load bearing shield cover are designed to hold up the drop-down shield cover, when it is not expanded or in use; and 
       said drop-down shield cover will provide further bullet resistant protection beyond the size of said load bearing shield cover to then drop down and protect the lower area of said user’s body. 
     
     
         2 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 1 , further comprising a rifle support bracket having two connector pieces, a back connector piece which is interwoven into said load bearing shield cover and a front connector piece which is also interwoven into said load bearing shield cover and one or more screw to hold the two connect pieces together. 
     
     
         3 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 1 , wherein said bullet resistant ballistic protective shield having no bolts, screws, or holes drilled into the ballistic protective shield is curved. 
     
     
         4 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 1 , wherein said load bearing shield cover further comprises a webbing consists of one or more horizontal rows of straps, spaced apart, and sewn to the backing at various intervals, to create a webbing effect. 
     
     
         5 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 1 , wherein said load bearing shield cover utilizes an inside strap positioned inside said load bearing shield cover to lock into place said bullet resistant ballistic protective shield. 
     
     
         6 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more D-ring connectors for connecting to said load bearing shield cover, so said user can connect two load bearing shield covers together, by connecting the two D-rings together from the bottom of each of said load bearing shield covers and inverting the bottom shield to provide more cover.  
     
     
         7 . A portable bullet-proof shield comprising: 
 a load bearing shield cover for integrating a bolt free bullet resistant ballistic protective shield;   said load bearing shield cover utilizes an inside strap positioned inside said load bearing shield cover to lock into place said bullet resistant ballistic protective shield;   said load bearing shield cover has a webbing consists of one or more horizontal rows of straps, spaced apart, and sewn to the backing at various intervals, to create a webbing effect; and   said bullet resistant ballistic protective shield has no bolts, screws, or holes drilled into the ballistic protective shield, thereby not compromising the integrity of the shield.   
     
     
         8 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 7 , wherein said load bearing shield cover has a front padding, a high impact forearm padding, a forearm strap, and an integrated adjustable handle, which is intended to reduce fatigued and increase mobility of a user. 
     
     
         9 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 7 , further comprising one or more clamping support clips that are interwoven into said webbing on said load bearing shield cover to provide clamping support for connecting a drop-down shield cover to said load bearing shield cover. 
     
     
         10 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 9 , wherein said load bearing shield cover connected to said drop-down shield cover contains a bullet resistant insert. 
     
     
         11 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 10 , further comprising one or more release buckle on said load bearing shield cover, which is designed to hold up the drop-down shield cover, when it is not expanded or in use. 
     
     
         12 . The portable bullet-proof shield of  claim 9 , wherein said drop-down shield cover will provide further bullet resistant protection beyond the size of said load bearing shield cover to then drop down and protect the lower area of a user’s body.
