I own body armor (with Class IV rifle plates), but I acknowledge that I might not have time to put it on if my home were invaded, anyway. That's not exactly why I bought it in any case.
I believe each citizen should own the best armor he can afford as part of his duty to protect the Constitution against its domestic enemies (i.e., in the event of government tyranny). This is, after all, the purpose of the Second Amendment.
Incidentally, I think any manufacturer or distributor that refuses to sell body armor to Joe Citizen when there's no legal prohibition should have all their other products boycotted. Why do business with someone who believes your life (and freedom) is worth less than that of a cop or soldier?
