Can civilians legally own body armor? That's a question we get asked all the time. Here is the answer: Yes, civilians are legally able to buy body armor. As long as you haven't had a felony conviction, you are able to purchase body armor online. That is, unless you live in Connecticut. In Connecticut, body armor purchases must be purchased in a face-to-face transaction. With this in mind we cannot ship to Connecticut, and we cannot ship to anyone who uses a Connecticut billing address.
Some states are considering passing laws that make it harder for civilians to buy body armor. Because of this, we recommend buying your body armor sooner rather than later. If you feel you require the protection body armor provides, it is wise to get one while they are readily available and inexpensive.
Many civilians feel the need to own and wear body armor in everyday situations like:
- Jewelry store and pawn shop owners
- Couriers
- Convenience store owners and clerks
- ATM repairmen
- Victims of stalking or abuse
- Hunters
- Forest Rangers
- Attorneys and judges
- Homeowners who have suffered home invasions
- Residents of dangerous, high-crime areas
- Shooting range personnel
- Anyone who shoots at a gun range regularly
- Subpoena servers
- Bodyguards
- Journalists
- Travelers
- Private investigators
- Potential Victims of Domestic Terrorism
Whatever the reason, personal safety and security is extremely important to well-being. Owning body armor has never been so reasonable. The body armor we sell is effective at protecting wearers from most handgun rounds and rifle rounds depending on the level selected. Additionally our armor is available with various plate carriers which make it customizable and upgradable, so it's easy to protect you in every situation.
