Still not clear if body and armor are banned together or separate.

I would say yes by default. It’s a body armor ban and your head is part of your body. Takes effect 7/1 so do with that information what you please.

Road trip. You don't need to shop only in New York. They don't ask for ID to buy a hat anywhere else in America.

The original poster has a good question that could be brought up in the court case
Anyone have a link to the actual law?

I’m still curious if this means existing owners can keep theirs or not at this point. My understanding is it’s a ban on the sale and buying of the armor but does not mention existing owners.

I believe what NY is trying to say, is that you are illegal.

I was born here. I didnt swim, jump, run, get stuck in a truck to get across the border.
But Im still illegal.
After reading this, it just says that you can't sell, purchase or deliver body armor to someone that doesn't have a qualifying profession. I didn't see anything in there about owning body armor.

You are correct. The confusion is likely from the early drafts and bills (A352) that outlawed possession and ownership with a 15 day window for possessions to be surrendered without compensation. Search engines often bring up this still active bill when looking for the Extraordinary bullshit that was signed.

I spoke with NYS police today and called into LawGuns today. I was told by NYS police sgts handling the lines that their interpretation is current owners should have no issues and can keep their armor. It’s just that new armor cannot he acquired in or out of state.
they’re reviewing whether plate carriers and foam backers would also be banned for purchase (being related components) and are awaiting to hear back from legal on their end.

There was intentionally no restriction for purchasing out of state in the bill based on counsel's advice, this was feedback from some in Albany preparing / publishing the legislation.

Also the trooper who I spoke with, one of them, asked me “why do you need body armor?” when I inquired about it.
My reply was “I don’t need a reason. The people can be armed it’s a right.”

It's a ban on "body vests".
I do not wear vests on my head.
Also, a ban on protective headwear is going to have some serious pushback from OSHA.

Ask him why he needs any.
When he says "because I deal with criminals" remind him that he is not the target the criminals are looking for, you are.
