Depends on state. In Texas, according to Penal Code 46.041, "a person who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if, after the conviction, the person possesses metal or body armor." == == Protective vest is describe in Common list of controlled goods of EU in article 13 of this list it is sad that crossing of national border is allowed if protective antiballistic vest is on person. So you can cross border with vest on you. As I know in US of America buying of vest is forbidden for persons with criminal record. In many other countries it is allowed to posses vest. ANSWER: Many states make the use of bullet proof armor a penalty enhancer when charging and sentencing a person for the commission of a crime. For instance if you rob a bank with a vest on, you will get more of a sentence than if you did it without one on.
In Florida, it is perfectly legal to wear a bulletproof vest, so long as you don't commit a crime while wearing the vest.
In Oklahoma anyone can purchase and use a bulletproof vest unless he or she has been convicted of a felony. It is a felony to wear body armor during the commission of a crime.
No problem

If you are a felon, you can not possess a bullet proof vest.
It depends on where you are. In the U.S. there is no requirement of a license to own a bullet proof vest by federal law, and most states have no requirement for it. It is illegal to wear a bullet proof vest during the commission of a crime, and felons can't own bullet proof vests (I can't recall if that's state or federal laws), but otherwise, anyone can buy a vest.
I don't believe bullet proof vest were available during that time................
