I personally take this as an omission that they want to be able to shoot and kill civilians without having to worry about them having any form of armor. Just as I see the disarmament of a people as an omission that who ever is pushing for the disarmament whishes for the people who are disarmed to be easy victims.

Not sure I understand the logic with this bill. Body armor isn't dangerous. The whole point of it is to stop you from getting injured, not injure another person. Yeah, I mean you could beat someone with a steel plate, but if I wanted to beat someone with an object there are already things that are way better like baseball bats.

Edit: apparently plates are good, this is only for soft armor, wtf? makes even less sense now, if that's possible.

Again, I care but I don't care anymore.

BTW I checked to see who the assembly member in my area was to contact. Oh joy, it's the ****tard Jacobson himself. :banghead:

Call his office anyways... leave your opinion. They do take inventory of calls. Even the mentally ill care sometimes what people think.... :cool:

But like you said, some laws we just need to ignore! This would be one of them....

What if a child is caught with a bullet proof back pack? Their parent could have bought them one and forgot about it and then their child gets arrested and gets a criminal record.

So... let me understand this. What about people who ride motorcycles? And they wear protective gear. And part of the gear is a vest.
What if this protective garment is somehow able to stop bullets, say .38 or 9mm rounds? What about helmets? That's a form of "armor"!

Also, it's winter. What if people wear multiple layers of cloths and the fabric is able to stop bullets from gun fire?
Will people be expected to walk around in winter wearing T-shirts?!?

The bill text mandates citizens surrender body armor and armored backpacks within 15 days. Contrary to some posts on this site considering "buy it while you can", it has no grandfather clause.

Get your kid a ceramic plate. They're better anyways. Body vest is legally defined as soft armor.


NY Penal Law § 270.20: Unlawful wearing of a body vest
A "body vest" is defined in the New York criminal code as a bullet-proof piece of soft body armor that provides protection from a shot from a .38 caliber handgun.

Just one more thing on a long list of reasons to leave this crumbling state. You would think we would have the numbers to vote these people out but I guess not. It's sad to think that in the not so distant future we will be just as shi**y as California. I'm sure some already think were there.

Unfortunately, NY
Again, they want us to be easier to kill.


I know from previous forum posts that a fair amount of members here have body armor. Since it's a retro active ban (no grandfathering in legally purchased private property) anyone in possession of body armor will be committing a crime. I thank 0.0% chance people here care to comply with another insane law and your just going to see those posts mysteriously go away like they didn't happen. Body armor? What body armor.


I hate this state so incredibly much. I hate the liberal mentality and anyone that goes along with this big government BS.

If this passes, and if it becomes law, how many here are going to bitch, moan and complain that they don't own this equipment yet.

You have time, if you want it, buy now. Do not wait for after the passing of the law.

So I guess all those special class citizens with ballistic rated clothing, jackets, etc., and kids school bags with ballistic ratings are going to be outlawed too?

I wonder if the use of medicine upon a bullet wound will become illegal someday too, you know, touching a bullet will be felonious!

What buffoonery comes next?

Fuck it all... The criminal has more rights and protections these days! Simply amazing!

NYS uses Dominion Voting Systems so it may not matter how we vote.

I just sent an email to the assembly member Jacobson to reconsider this bill. I have no issue with strong laws and penalties for those commit crimes wearing vests. Banning them only hurts those of us who follow the law. I personally use a vest hunting, and at training and competitions.

Please consider sending an email, letter, phone call to him with some rational reasons why this bill is bad. We need to stand up to this type of legislation or NY is beyond a lost cause. Do something to protect your freedom here.

Request to reconsider? No expression of outrage and explanation of the extended overreaching ridiculousness of a completely innocuous activity that will be made illegal for no other reason the hightened hysteria not associated with ANY examples of it's use being made in any contemporary events that would create a public safety issue.

Reconsider?

What? Exactly...? Reconsider their (politicians) mental capacity for the job of representing their constituents rather than an agenda of their own? Hmmmmm...

Maybe explain how the law, even if passed is unenforceable and will wind up on the pile of nobody gives a shit like the Safe Act Registration Requirement!

I'm at the range, or training and wearing protective gear... And somebody wants to arrest me, well that's going to go over big! How will the State explain that citizens must accept risk and not wear vests that could protect themselves. Does the State then make wearing eye or ear protection illegal too? Is no difference, none at all... Again, can't see how this would stand scrutiny for a minute!

/End Rant... Enjoy your day ;)

yeah i hear you. I did take the "catch more flys with honey" approach first. Either way, the more emails and phone calls he gets maybe they will think about what happens next re-election...
