There are some export limitations in the US and maybe in canada, like for the NVGs, but it still legal to buy/cell.

It's even legal to wear around as a fashionable clothing, like we saw in Montréal last year.

The catch is, if you get cought in criminal activity wearing body armor, they extrapolate your intentions and the shit you'r in automaticly get more sticky and stinky.

Hey ! Fox, I just really wonder where do they wear it ?

In downtown montréal. They don't allow it in bars and clubs. Schools are banning it.

Oh man, I wonder how many people have been wounded from shootings because they thought their friend's phattastic new outerwear was actually bulletproof.

IMO, their lost of blood is only good for the society. As long as they don't end up crippled and dependent on our money to live.

Cold, but I agree. We shouldn't have to pay more income tax for someone else's stupidity.
HOWEVER, I'm not sure if this law has been altered, but a friend of mine had his dad bring a few toys into the city to show me some of the neat stuff he had out at his farm (no firearms). He was pulled over for speeding and as it turns out your not supposed to have gen2+ night vision or above level IIA body armor within city limits.
The whole gen2+ thing I think is total BS, but it makes sense they wouldn't allow you to have better armor than the police.
Of course this is just what his dad was told by an RCMP officer, could have just been the officer being a dick...

Cops are under no obligation to be truthful, and that sounds like it was all pure BS, specially if there were no charges, confiscations, etc.

Plus there are civilians with legit reasons for having body armor: some armored car outfits have guys supplying their own gear, bodyguards, I've seen some club bouncers who wanted ballistic/anti-stab, private security guards (like for alarm companies) that need to go inspect alarms on site (they're unarmed otherwise), etc.

I thought Farmboy had some plates for sale through One Shot Tactical. Soft armour I'm not sure on, but he did have some poly plates as well as ceramic at one time.

He's not on the retailer bar anymore though.
