Thus it will be easier for cops to kill you as well

Protecting yourself is illegal?

I carry what I have. My B.I.L. gave me an old snub nosed Ruger GP-100 detective revolver. It kicks like an athletic mule on steroids but packs a huge punch.

It's been going on for a while . . .

(Ned Kelly, the famous Australian bushranger, who survived a shootout in his homemade armour, only to be hanged shortly thereafter)

“In its current form, the bill exempts...body armor salespeople”

Ok, I just formed a sole proprietorship to resell body armor. No paperwork or fees required since it’s just a one man operation and if I make any money it will be filed under my personal income tax anyway. Law bypassed, and I never even got up from my chair.

When body armor is illegal, only criminals will wear body armor.

Who needs AP rounds. A 150 grain Bodkin point on a carbon fiber shaft fired from a 50lb recurve bow will nail an armor wearer to a tree. Only a steel or ceramic plate will stop it. Goes to projectile shape

So do those kiddie kevlar backpacks count as body armor? Is Little Timmy gonna get arrested when he shows up to school wearing his thick strong Paw Patrol bag?
