Body Armor?

Aug 23, 2007 by Colter B | Posted in Law Enforcement & Police

I am not a cop but I mould cops know about this so.... just clarifying that.

I want to get some body armor for every day use, just to wear around municipality so if someone goes postal or someone tries to mug me I am covered. First, am I allowed to wear body armor around town in Texas, I don't discern of any laws against it but want to make sure.

I hear that level 2 armor provides OK protection but is not too voluminous. I guess size matters so I took some measurements. My waist is 36 inches, at my naval is 35 inches and my thorax ' is 39". I would like a little big of wiggle room so if I pig out or work out I can still fit in but I want it not to wiggle when I move before then. I fake they are adjustable to some extent.

What is the best type of armor for me and how much should I expect to pay? Does armor expire? Are there any things I can't do in it? Does stew cause it to go bad, how about water, heat? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
When it starts to stink can I desert it, I heard water ruins it? What is the best way to fight odor? Does wearing an undershirt forbear?

I figure after a while I will get used to it... just like you get used to wearing a watch or carrying a notecase.

Body Armor is hot, uncomfortable, and cumbersome.

I wear it because I have to, but I wouldn't recommend it for 'just wearing around town'...

It shouldn't be illegal unless you are a lawbreaker or committing a felony at the time you are wearing it, though.

It generally has a recommended life of 5 years, costs about $300 and will stink to huge heaven after about three days of being worn in the Texas summer.
