Are bullet proof vests illegal in Florida?

Question

I've just got a vest and i live in florida but wasn't sure if they were illegal or not

Answer 1

Body armor is not illegal in any state.

However, most states have a penalty enhancer if you commit a crime while wearing body armor. This would mean more time in jail .

Answer 2

Course not, or there would be no police officers in Florida.

Answer 3

To expand on Trooper's answer- While it's legal for regular people to own body armor, some states also prohibit possession of body armor by those convicted of certain felonies. Several high profile rappers have been arrested for this. In most states committing a crime while wearing body armor is a sentence enhancement.
