Return to “Body Armor-What's your take?”
If you've ever worn BA, you know that comfort comes first...especially here in Texas. It gets really hot.The Wall wrote:For wearing at work I think comfort and reliability would be more important than how it looks.
I believe there are also some states where it is illegal period, luckily we live in Texas.Target1911 wrote:It is illegal for a FELON to have....but that is it.
Not illegal if you are OK to purchase body armor, pretty much the same as being able to purchase/possess a handgun. They make some IIIA (protects against nearly all handgun rounds, not rifle though) that will go under a shirt without being detected. You can also get these with plate holders, you can add plates later and slip them in if you want. Costs rage widely depending on level of protection and plates can be anywhere from $150-$400 a piece generally depending on used, traditional, or ceramic.thatguy wrote:I have worked on a gun range for a few years and just recently started to consider purchasing body armor and wanted to know what y'all's thoughts are? Have you owned or wore it before? What type and brand would you recommend? How much can one expect to spend? Lastly, my initial purpose would be for range use but may extend to wearing it on the street (you never know) but is this prudent or illegal.
