Is it legal in the uk? Where can i buy some if it is?

I.e stab vest, bullet "proof" vest etc?

Abraham · 17 Feb 2008 at 14:58

yes it's legal, loads on ebay, i imagine short of specific retailers army surplus type stores would be a good place to start

Tefal · 17 Feb 2008 at 14:58

http://www.jackellis.co.uk/ sells all sorts and yes its legal.

mats got a flack jacket from a surplus store.

Someone coming after you bot?

er... why do you need one?

ebay probably best - lots of british army issue ones, make sure they have the ceramic plates with them though.

Depends what he wants it for I think that would be a wee bit overkill and you would look a bit silly wearing it for something like door work

Yea the covert stab proof vests are unnoticable and very comfy to use, I was replying to the use of a standard issue military one with ceramic plates being slight overkill for civi use

It's meant for unobtrusive body guards as it can be carried as a suit carrier and so lees likely to alert anyone planing to shoot the guy your guarding and used to line car doors and office doors.

Anyway why the hell are yo looking for body armour.

I bought an ex police issue vest from a place over in Bristol for £75 when I was working on repo. It was the best thing I ever did.

Its not overkill actually. In Bristol its compulsory in some places on the door, Cardiff is getting like that too.

pikes and chavs will stab you in the leg though so body armour wont help much.

I've got some through work... even though I'm a senior manager and work in an office.... Still cool though. But yes bullet/stab proof vests are perfectly legal - though if ever stopped by the police it might arouse suspicion as to why you'd be wearing one. Typically round this part of town crooks wear them when up to criminal activity to minimise the chance of being injured.
