Cheers! M213. Is it legal for civilians to buy Body Armor?
In general, yes - for law-abiding folks. A felony conviction makes possession of Body Armor illegal under federal law and in many states. (Source)
As a civilian without any criminal history/records/convictions is it legal for me to purchase and own body armor? I search but could not find any law/ruling on this. Only one where it said that it was illegal for a felon to own one. Just want to make sure.
Thanks
Legal, except for felons
Thank you for all the replies. I thought it was legal except for felons but the guys at the gun store kept on telling me it wasn't.
I don't want to break any laws.
I don't know if I'd risk my life on a vest bought at a pawn shop....but that's just me.

Is there a place in Houston that sell body armor?

Does anyone know the laws when it comes to an individual selling their own body armor? I assume the same rules apply...no felons and so on? Here is the real question. what about when it involves Rifle plate or SAPI plate? from what i can tell they are legal but must be sold as separate items? so you buy the vest with the soft armor and the SAPI plates are sold separately?
Any real legal knowledge would be very appreciated?
