Law enforcement officers, WEAR THE DAMNED VEST!

Civilians and property owners, WEAR THE DAMNED VEST!, shoot first and survive the encounter!

Many States have made or are taking steps to make owning or wearing a bullet resistant vest ILLEGAL. Same with pepper spray and mace. Same with owning guns. Same with wearing a mask for the purpose of obscuring your identity.

Of course, such items will remain perfectly legal for Police who wish to bring 77 yr old men to heel for failing to prettify their property when ordered to do so.
