BTW - Let me clarify. ALL CENTERFIRE AMMO the AG says can penetrate body armor.
Maybe .22's would still be allowed under this........

.22 is rimfire in most cases.

Yes, most 22 Magnum rounds will defeat Level IIA body armor.

.22 rimfire magnum has been among the cartridges banned by various *armor-piercing ammo* laws, as has, amazingly enough, the .22 short. Traveling at a very low velocity with a narrow frontal profile, rather than expending energy across the weave of ballistic-resistant fabrics, it tends to slip between the weave. Similarly, most vests are easily penetrated by an icepick or sharpened screwdriver, the reason prison responders' vests are constructed of very different materials and with diffewrent techniques.
