Just had one of the local SWAT teams over for some lunch and to play pool at my house here.. Had a long talk with them and inspected their equipment and see that they are woefully inadequate to do their job. Get this... They fire maybe 20 rounds every 6months with their 9mm Barettas and even less than that with their M16's. They have no kevlar vests or helmets, no accessory flashlights or lasers for their weapons. These guys are brave as hell, though. Just saw on the news where they captured 3 NPA (Commie Guerillas) Commanders two days ago during a firefight about 2 kms from where I now live here. I am going to start treating them to at least a hundred rounds a week at the firing range a few hundred meters from me. What I am asking from all of you is: where can I get some body armor for my new friends/brave SWAT guys that I can have shipped. Lasers for M16's and baretta 9mm's will be helpful too. Just shoot me some ideas, please.
You have to get special permits to buy body armor. I have a friend who used to be a rep for one of the main military suppliers and he briefly explained this to me.
I'll find out the process if i see him tomorrow at a superbowl party i'm going to.
Just buy the ammo. Lasers don't replace the sights, can become a crutch. Too many bells and whistles, it's just something else to break/batteries die etc. IMHO. Good on you for wanting to support those guys!

Man don`t build private armies....
How about giving the Army or PNP the money to buy the things...
I don`t want to insult you with this, but I would personally not sell you that stuff if I could.
I would not fund private armies.
And anyways, the stuff you want to buy.... it would never go through the toll or it would get stolen on the way.
