The present invention is directed toward an apparatus for tactical ballistic protection for an individual. In particular, the present invention provides a portable device for dual use as a ballistic shield and a rifle mounting stand. The invention is comprised on a ballistic blanket attached to dual ballistic resistant transparent panes. The transparent panes are attached via a vertical hinge, at which the attachment point functions as a rifle mounting stand. The invention may be attached to existing structures via a combination of straps and hooks, or the device may be used free standing.

I claim: 1. A portable device for ballistic protection of an individual that can be hand-carried into the field by the individual, readily placed in a standalone position without the use of any tools, and can also be readily folded up and stored in a small space, comprising: a first projectile-resistant transparent pane; a second projectile-resistant transparent pane; a hinge to connect the first and second transparent panes such that the first and second transparent panes are configurable at an angle less than 180 degrees with respect to each other so that the device is readily placed and used in a standalone position of use upon any substantially flat surface and readily folded from the standalone position of use into a small space when not in use; and wherein, in a substantially fully open standalone position of the transparent panes, a rifle stand is formed between the panes while the panes substantially shield the individual in a shooting position using the rifle stand; and wherein the rifle stand is shaped to receive and support a forward end of a firearm while the individual peers through space between the panes to take aim; and stand members positioned to readily prop up the panes without tools when the panes are placed in a standalone position of use by the individual, so that the device, when leaned toward the individual under the force of gravity, leans against the stand members which thereby prop up the panes without tools in a standalone position of use. 2. The portable device of claim 1 further comprising a mechanism to readily and removably mount the device to an existing structure without the use of tools. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the mechanism comprises a strap. 4. The portable device of claim 1, the further comprising a projectile resistant blanket of size to shield substantially the whole body of the individual in a standing position. 5. The portable device of claim 4, wherein different standalone positions of the device protect the individual from projectiles while in a standing, kneeling or lying position. 6. The device of claim 4, wherein the blanket is positionable substantially vertically when the individual is in a standing position, and wherein the blanket is positionable substantially horizontally when the individual is in a prone position. 7. The device of claim 1, further comprising a projectile resistant blanket attachable to at least one of the two panes. 8. A portable ballistic shield for an individual that can be hand-carried by the individual into the field and put into a standalone shielding position without the use of tools, comprising: a projectile-resistant transparent member that can be folded with stand members to readily stand the transparent member upright in a standalone position of use upon a substantially flat surface by leaning the shield against the stand members, or to fold the shield into a small space, without the use of tools; wherein, in a substantially fully open position of the transparent member, a rifle stand forms in the transparent member to receive and support a rifle while the individual peers through a gap formed in the transparent member. 9. The portable ballistic shield of claim 8, further comprising a mechanism for removably attaching the shield to a structure without the use of tools. 10. The shield of claim 9, wherein the mechanism comprises a hook. 11. The shield of claim 8, further comprising a projectile-resistant blanket; wherein the blanket is positionable substantially vertically when the individual is in a standing position, and wherein the blanket is positionable substantially horizontally when the individual is in a prone position. 12. A portable ballistic shield for an individual, the shield comprising: a projectile-resistant transparent member comprising at least one part and with an opening in the transparent member to receive and mount a weapon so that the individual may see and shoot from behind the transparent member; stand members to readily stand the transparent member upright in a standalone position without the use of tools by leaning the shield upon the stand members; and a projectile-resistant blanket connectable to the transparent member, the blanket of size to provide protection to substantially the whole body of the individual in a standing position. 13. The portable ballistic shield of claim 12, further comprising a mechanism for removably attaching the shield to a structure without the use of tools. 14. The shield of claim 13, wherein the mechanism comprises a hook. 15. The portable ballistic shield of claim 12, wherein, when not in use, the transparent member can be folded along with the blanket to a small size to increase portability of the shield.
