They are completely legal.

I personally asked an on cop duty the same question last month. He said there is nothing wrong with wearing a vest. We were talking about guns, laws, what if I killed someone in my house etc...so I brought up the vest question.

Straight Legit.

there legit up to a certain protection level i believe, Exporting Level III and IV armor plates requires a U.S. State Department export permit. There are also a few countries that may require a Department of Commerce export license for Level II-A, Level II and Level III-A Body Armor. Up to Level 111 A only handguns are covered but for protection against rifle fire you will need level 111 or level IV protection. CAN defeat body armor which is not specifically designed to protect against these threats. Bullet proof protective panels do not offer protection against sharp-edged or pointed instruments e.g., knives, ice picks, etc. ...Bullets that are successfully stopped by body armor may still produce some level of injury e.g. severe bruising, broken bones, and possibly serious internal injury or even death.

Yea, coming out of court one day I pulled one of the deputies to the side and asked him if vests were legal. If you are a felon, they are illegal. If you have a vest on and are carrying a weapon, it's illegal, unless you're in SOME TYPE of law enforcement (i.e. Bodyguard, cop, etc...). Other than that, you can wear a vest and they can't do shit about it (IN California). But like Musty said, just because you have Kevlar on doesn't mean shit can't fuck you up.

^^ you dont even needs those...just aim for the thigh or head...the thigh has a vital artery, a .45 to the thigh could kill you just as quick as a heart shot, and a head shot...well....they dont make bulletproof beanies and do-rags..if a car thieves really wants ya car...he'll take it..and if someone really want you dead...you will be

plus most of you prolly aint never worn a vest, they are uncomfortable as hell...wearing one daily would drive you fuckin nutz and you sweat ya ass off...and if you get one with armor plates , that another 40-50 lbs ( like runnin with a backpack fulla bricks) you luggin around..and thos plates dont cover all areas...just vital points...you could still get hit with a .22 and that shit would riccochet internally and shread ya organs to bits, the docs wont be able to find the slug cause it will fragment or get lost inside ya....

So many diff. opinions, the law screws us like that.

Ya, felons can't wear a vest.

You need a permit to carry a gun, and I only know one person who has one. It has to be approved by 5 people in the system and the sherrif of the county, and they ask for 5 referrals (friends or family) to speak with them. You either have to have to deal with a lot of cash or carry a lot of jewlery, or feel that you're life is in danger.

Bulletproof vests are a pain in the ass to wear. I had mines confiscated when Hayward police raided my pad but returned 3 months later.........

but is your life really in danger or are you geting a vest just to get one man and show it off....thats the real question
everybodys life is in danger nowadays, you see all the crazy shit happenin now? niggas aint fightin no more they killing, and half the murders be over petty ass shit.. arguments that's escalades, he say she say, fuccin anotha niggas bitch, that type of shit.. all the niggas thats doin the killings aint even killaz, just youngstas either drunk, high, or "showin out" (pride), atleast tha's the case around my way, they killing now over nothing.

some of you said it's legal unless you have a pistol on you but what if you have a permit to carry a gun??
