anyone have handy a link or excerpt from out lovely state on body armor. i need the text of this to show a seller and i cant find it in an official format. thanks

If you're looking for statute you can link to that says "It's LEGAL!", you're not going to find it.  NJ Statute does not list every possible thing that is legal.  NJ only defines illegal use.

 

Body Armor ("Body Vests") are Illegal to use in the commission of, or escape from, a crime.  Otherwise, they are unregulated in NJ.

Title 2C - THE NEW JERSEY CODE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE
Section 2C:39-13 - Unlawful use of body vests

 

 

2C:39-13. Unlawful use of body vests

Use or wearing a body vest while engaged in the commission of, or an attempt to commit, or flight after committing or attempting to commit a crime of the first degree is a crime of the second degree.

Buy 'em and rock 'em. Kevlar is in style every season.

I bought em. Retailer sent me an email right before i left work saying theyre ilegal for non leo in this state, wich i know not to be the case.

 

I saw 2c39but wanted to make sure that was the only reference

Who you order from.

" while in the commission of a crime......"

Why can't most of 2C have that qualifier ( makes too much sense" possession, not in commission of a crime, cool")

Bulletproofme had no issue sending me Lvl4 plates.

 

SKD makes u sign a form.

 

Just another reason NJ sucks ass.

Tactical sh!t i jumped on their black friday sale for the rma plates for 99bucks.

 

I shot em an email, so well see what happens.

 

This was the first non eye roll moment i got from the wife about getting armor. If they do cancel it atleast ill have a case to place another order from somewhere and maby she wont beat me with them...

My plates should be going out today. The vendor gave the retailer some misinformation about the law in NJ. I sent them an email, and got a response this morning apologizing for the delay.

 

Already have the carrier, now i need to add a few pouches etc to finish the kit 

go over onto farcebook, and look up sean fisher of blackbag resources. he's a good dude.

So if a cop gets snagged doing something illegal or a NJ cop gets caught up in a bad shoot and is found guilty this is another charge thrown in or again it only applys to Joe Smo and not members of Club Privliged?
