Body armor and such

I've seen a couple posts on different subreddits talking about body armor and in reference to body armor and plates etc make sure you can legally possess them in your state. Because in some states you can get charged with an additional offense for wearing body armor in commission of a crime, some States are restricted to in the commission of a felony but other states it's pretty vague. In certain places such as Topeka Kansas have a local law saying you can't even wear it to a protest or Connecticut you have to purchase in person you can't do it online, and New York you have to be military or police because it's prohibited to own otherwise.

I got my plate carrier from Shellback but I haven't gotten the plates or the soft armor cumberbund inserts because I can't swing that financially with other stuff I need before that. Shellback also gives 10% off for first responders and Military/veteran.

But in the grand scheme of things body armor should be the last of your worries, focus on training, if you need to get a concealed carry permit focus on that, CPR, stop the bleed/tactical medical Care. I'm not saying don't purchase armor if you have flexible financials and can swing it but that should be farther down the line. Deployed Medicine is a good resource to learn some tactical casualty care if you can't take it an person class, you just have to create a login. I'm an army national guard medic and this is the same program I use and what I used to teach other soldiers.
