if wearing a vest means I'm looking to get shot, then by that same logic wearing a seatbelt means you're looking for a car accident; having fire house insurance means you're looking for a fire; and carrying a gun means you're looking for a gunfight.
of course we both know that's not the case in any of these examples. wearing a vest is easily justifiable. we live in a violent and unpredictable world and have MANY products that protect us from many unlikely events (e.g. motorcycle helmets, plastic elbow and knee protectors for inline skating and skateboarding, plastic mouthguards for sports, steel toed boots for construction, safetly glasses for shooting, etc.). why are all of these acceptable buy my wearing identical equipment for as equally unlikely of an event cause for criticism in your eyes?
