question, how illegal is it...

[Doom]

to have a bullet proof vest? just curious here, Im picking one up tonight, for safety reasons, just wanted to know if I for some reason should get caught wearing it, what am I gonna be looking at, charges wise

mind you its my best interest to have this on for a while

wow, dunno - but be careful.

I didn't realize it was illegal to own a bullet proof vest. Why would it be?

Nevermind...I just realized my own answer as I posted it. It would make it very difficult for the authorities to take down a criminal if everyone could own a bp vest.

lets just say that it wasnt bought in a store, I kinda found it when it fell off a truck

Thats a tough one....search under your state name and laws in google and see what you find, the laws could drastically change from state to state.

For the same reason you cant own an automatic weapon....it levels out the playing Field against law enforcement, and in all reality there really isn't a reason to have one unless you are or have done something wrong.

Yes, I realize this, that is why I edited my post directly after posting it. ;)

Yeah I didnt see that...;)

BTW, my advise would be Fu** the bullet proof vest....buy a bigger gun!

I hope the vest you got came with the optional plates that go in the back....and that you'll use them.

Unfortunatly they all dont come with ballistic plates (depends how good of a vest you buy), but most vests with out the plates should be good enough to stop a 9mm at fairly close range

I hope it is in fact a bullet proof vest and not just stab proof....I know of someone who bought a vest off a "truck" and got screwed because the person he bought it off tried to pass it off as a bp vest and it was only stab proof

I hope it doesn't come to the point where he would have to test it the hard way.
