Well, the consensus seems to be that the vest would be legal, but it isn't clear.
However, you can rest assured that there's at least one gas bag legislator who has already proposed to outlaw the "bullet proof vest" in the name of crime control----after first disarming the people so they can't defend themselves.
Only effect it would have is to lesson the chances of a cab driver or store clerk going home to their family at the end of their shift.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
