another retarded law that the politicians wasted their time on (on OUR dime). if someone is robbing a bank, is getting charged with possession of body armor during a crime gonna be of concern to them? lol
Obviously not. However, it is yet another thing they can be charged with.
I was watching episodes of Dallas SWAT on Hulu.com and they said that it was illegal for convicted felons to possess body armor too. I also learned that most people that they serve warrants on have either .380 pistols or AK47s... but they call the AK47s SKS'es (sic) and they refer to anything that isn't a single shot .22 or a shot gun as an Assault Rifle, except for their own Assault Rifles, which are actually Commando Guns.....
Anyways, I am buying some before it becomes illegal, lol.
Some states have laws that prohibit its citizens to own or wear body armor, Indiana isn't one of those states.

be just a little cold today for chain mail!
Josh, I don't know if I would go so far as to categorize armor as clothing, like stated no specific material is mentioned, but as someone who makes and sells (revolutionary armor by the way) armor, there is almost no armor out there that you could or would wear as clothing. It's definitely an accessory, worn specifically for one purpose. I currently only sell company products to Mil/LEO due to each states laws being so different and not having the time to do a full background check on every order we get. I think in time we'll sell to civilians, but for now...liability.
Having said all that if you or anyone you know is quite interested, I do have some extra personally owned armor (very good) I might be willing to sell or trade

Actually how else would you define body armor?
They are restricting materials when they restrict body armor, as the actual design is rarely as effective as the material (in most cases).
I don't think any states restrict it, simply the use of it when commiting a felony.
