A friend of mine is interested in purchasing body armor. He found this that he was ready to purchase but we ran into a snag.
http://www.opticsplanet.com/gh-armor-sy ... -vest.html
When we called Optics Planet, I spoke with the sales rep and informed him that the purchase was not job related (personal use) and that it was intended for another end user. Becasue it has a government restriction on it, the rep told me that the end user would have to be one of those on the approved list (ie. LEO, Security, etc.).
So here's my questions...
1.) Does anyone know what types/levels of BA are restricted by the government?
2.) Are there any laws restricting use of BA in DE?
3.) Any personal BA preferences on brand, type, plate size, etc.?
All I could find was that the government restricts purchase/use by felons. I was all over Optics Planet and it appeared that the heavier armor is what seems to have gov restrictions. I'm assuming that the vest in the above link is restricted due to it being lev3.
