If you're looking for something to wear everyday your best bet is soft armour. I have a plate carrier with plates. I bought the plates from another Arfcom member FTF.
I would suggest looking at spartan plates vs AR500. Another option is having a LEO buddy having it shipped to his place for you or you can send it to a buddy out of state. ETA: if you want to check out my set up and try it on it may give you an idea of what you're looking for. |

What's the law? The actual statutes: Sec. 53-341b. Sale or delivery of body armor restricted. Sec. 53a-217d. Criminal possession of body armor: Class A misdemeanor. Basically, if your a peasant, you must buy the body armor in a face to face sale. |

What kind of tithe does Zerg pay to the church before the king gets upset? Is there primogeniture still? I have to admit it's been awhile since I went to school but I could swear we live in a republic based on democratic ideals. Maybe you kids have a different frame of reference. Anyway Zerg, it does have to be face to face for purchase, like it was for me. There are no restrictions on ownership except of course for felons who are prohibited from owning armor. Soft armor would be the most comfortable but is generally only effective for pistol caliber rounds. To defeat most 5.56 and 7.62 x 39 rounds you would need plates, either standalone or in concert with (their ultimate rating based on a ballistic backer behind the plate). You pay dearly for lightness. I personally do not care for AR500. You need a spall guard of some sort unless they are coated. They are affordable but heavy. I prefer ceramic but you have to be careful in maintaining them. No dropping. Carriers must fit you correctly as well as the plates. There are different cuts (shapes) of hard plates, sizes and curves. It's not overly complicated but you need to get it right. You want to be able to move. It's a balancing act between protection, weight, cost and movement. |

While it's legal to own and wear so long as you aren't a felon, I'd really think before you drop coin on body armor to wear every day. As someone who wears it's professionally I can tell you it is quite hot and uncomfortable. If it gives you peace of mind, by all means. But I would never wear it if I weren't in a job where I was continually headed towards danger.
A plate carrier in your house or car may make more sense if you aren't wearing it for work. |

Thanks for all the input guys.
I don't really have any vision for this topic. I don't plan on wearing it every day, or probably really ever. I was just too late to the gun scene to be able to adequately prepare for the laws we have today, and I don't want to be too late for any possible armor ones. I really just figured I better get it now while I still can, and so the homework begins . . |

A few years back I picked up a set of curved and double coated AR500 brand plates. They were cheap, and I'm really glad I have them. They are tough, and don't need to be babied.
But holy hell they are heavy. I'd be sucking after a few hours wearing them. But for being hold up in my house covering a hallway with my family behind me...it'll do just fine. I heard a guy that I really respect say when it comes to body armor there are three factors. Lightweight, effective, and cheap. You can only pick two. |

I have spartan (some kind of special cut) curved plates, they are really comfortable. The plates in the carrier with nonothing else loaded is 35lbs. Not really a lot of weight. I have don't matches with the carrier and if it wasn't so damn hot out I could have worn it the entire time.
They are heavy but its not unbearable. I wouldn't want to wear it 8+hours per day though. |

It's all going to come down to your budget and availability. If you only want to spend a couple hundred dollars and want protection from rifles then there are not many options out there. Buy some cheap AR500 plates and a carrier to satisfy that empty spot in your closet. In my opinion, keep an eye out and find someone local selling a set of SAPI plates or if your lucky ESAPIs but expect to pay a few pennies more. New ESAPIs are going to big bucks, but they have the protection to back it up. 3/16" AR500 is not going to stop 30-06 AP.
With that said, in any scenario, wearing hard armor (with or without some sort of load out ) for any extended period of is going to be uncomfortable, if you've never done it before. Seems like you are thinking about a SHTF situation, so ask yourself which would you be better off with? At the end of the day, I supposed something is better than nothing. |

This topic is something I'm interested in as well.
Just to be clear we can buy FTF anywhere in the country, right? If I wanted to go top of the line, what's my best bet in CT? Seems like the online dealers that carry top of the line all indicate a several week lead time. Kind of impractical for finding top of the line "in stock" in my frequent travels. |

Depends what you want. Even the cheaper mainstream soft and hard stuff now functions 100% at stopping projectiles it's rated for. The more 'custom' soft armor is mainly about fit and comfort, not functionality. You'll pay handsomely for that custom cut too. But if wearing some kind of soft armor all day in a typical work outfit is something you need than it's probably worth it. The FTF thing is a CT state law and doesn't apply anywhere else in the country. So if you live and buy here there's a stupid form you fill out for the store to keep that proves it was a ftf sale. That Barracks place (which has plenty of parking) in Newington has a decent selection. Go there and see if any of the modern off-the-rack items suit your needs. |

There is no form...
https://www.cga.ct.gov/2009/rpt/2009-R-0401.htm By law, it is a class A misdemeanor for anyone convicted of specific felonies or a serious juvenile offense to possess body armor. And, with some exceptions for law enforcement personnel and armed forces members, it is a class B misdemeanor to sell body armor without personally meeting the purchaser. The law defines “body armor” as material designed to be worn on the body and to provide bullet penetration resistance. The only law governing body armor in this state is that it has to be a FTF transfer - Obviously I'm including that in order to do a FTF Xfer you have to be qualified to own it in the first place... There is no form you legally have to fill out to obtain body armor...None. If someone's having you fill out a form it's strictly to CTA - Nothing more, nothing less. |

Address of shipment needs to match address of driver lic and pistol permit. If I can get in touch with them about to overcome this then I am getting on this one. Wish I bought this stuff when I was AD. Oh well, live and learn. I may try to get find and active LE or .mil to help me out. Thanks for posting this zeg Yep. I was going to try and use an out of state work address but it's a no go. They simply won't ship to CT residents unless you're mil/leo. Or an FFL... FFL then FTF's to you. |

They won't ship to CT (because of laws) so if you know someone willing out of state that can help you out, this might be the best deal I've seen since I started looking. This is a real good deal. I have bought a lot of stuff from SKD in the past but never done a group buy. I was reviewing their armor sales policy and it gets dicey for CT.

Well if I was an FFL and went through the hassle to create a membership here and then go through the ringer to order armor from SKD Id want to take advantage of this deal myself and it's a max order of 2 per member that signs up. 
Or at least mark it up for my trouble, negating a good chunk of the savings.

I have a dealer that would accommodate but there was no interest- I already have 3 sets of armor so ...tried to help but no interest ! Good luck in the quest for armor |

Where in the law is there any exemption for an FFL? It's pretty cut and dry, if you aren't .gov in some form it is FTF.
