- I'm in the market to purchase a lightweight bulletproof vest (downtown
- in the U.S. city I live in can get pretty rough, but I don't want to
- be burdened down by a heavy bullet-proof vest).
-
- The guy in the next office tells me that the lightweight bullet-proof
- vests are illegal except for police, secret service, etc (cuz they
- don't want criminals to be immune to police bullets, etc).
-
- Can anyone verify this? Is it illegal:
-
- a) for a person to sell me a lightweight bullet-proof vest,
- b) for me to purchase a lightweight bullet-proof vest,
- c) for me to be in possession of a lightweight bullet-proof vest.
-
- How many of the above are true?
