Those fun-loving legislators in the New York legislature determined in their minds that only the police need body armor; and anyone else with body armor is a would-be criminal. If passed (with no grandfather clause), the first offense is a Class A misdemeanor and second offense a Class E felony. If passed and signed into law, the effective date would be 60 days after signed, then peons would have 15 days to turn in or dispose of any body armor. I suppose this would apply to any people visiting or passing through New York.

You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time...and those are pretty good odds.

Re: Proposed NY Law Outlaws Body Armor
Whenever I hear about proposals like this (or GTA 1934) I always wonder how this would be applied if they followed through with this concept of outlawing safety devices.
NY and CA outlawing air bags and car seats? $500 Tax Stamp and 1 yr waiting list PER seatbelt restraint, helmets, car bumpers?

Re: Proposed NY Law Outlaws Body Armor
A little bit off topic but still on body armor: At a gun show a couple years ago, a vendor had these for sale. I did not buy but found out later body armor has an expiration date like milk. Probably says "best by ?/?/??".

Re: Proposed NY Law Outlaws Body Armor
It depends upon the material. But yes, some degrade over 10+ yrs.
Carbide plates don't degrade. And I'm still wearing the Armor that I bought back in the late 1990s. Fortunately, I haven't been shot yet.
