Is body armor legal for civilians?

We are not attorneys, or experts on the law (you should consult one if you have questions), but YES! Body armor is legal for almost anyone in the USA to own! Body Armor is regulated by Federal Law. No armor can be sold internationally.

At the time of writing, body armor is legal in all 50 states with the following three restrictions:

  • Body Armor is illegal to possess if you have been convicted of a violent felony.
  • Body armor may not be shipped to any civilians in Connecticut (CT). It is legal to purchase, possess and own body armor in CT, but it cannot be shipped.
  • Wearing body armor while committing a crime can increase penalties greatly.

Check your local laws before ordering if you have any questions.
