Many vendors require a wide variety of forms of identity to purchase body armor, including copies of CWP, signed affidavits, photos of passports, etc.
As an individual conducting a one-off sell of armor, what, if anything is required for me to collect from an individual? Obviously talking about after market/commercial armor, not military stuff. |

Obviously talking about after market/commercial armor, not military stuff. Unless they're from Connecticut, nothing. Ownership of body armor, of any kind, is 100% legal in all other 49 states. CT is limited to LE and MIL only, so you'd need proof of their need (letterhead, ID, signed orders, etc.). |

Just one minor correction: unless the laws changed recently, CT only restricts body armor purchases for mail orders into the state. Otherwise, there are no restrictions. |

Which begs the question.... Why are the majority of dealers so wound up in having so much documentation? Trial lawyers. Keeping voting Democratic, it'll get better. I would not blame any business that requires all sorts of rigarmole from customers. Arguably I'd worry more about doing business with a company that has no standards for risk management; that's the business that is going to get my personal information swept up in witch-hunt prosecution. Little guys with limited financial means are more likely to roll over than deeper pockets too. |

It is a CYA thing. Under 18 U.S.C. 931 - Prohibition on purchase, ownership, or possession of body armor by violent felons, it is actually the buyers responsibility to comply not the sellers. It just prevents any chance of it blowing back on them. If you where in the business of selling body armor and out of coincidence a few felons purchased from you and either one where arrested for it or two used it while committing a crime things could get ugly. It is easier to put the conditions on the sale and protect themselves.

here in the US there are no restrictions on body armor except maybe CT. Some places require photo ID or proof of mil/le but thats for their own internal use. You mean no restrictions other than it's illegal for a felon to buy/possess it? There is that, but I doubt that any state expects a private seller to run a background check on someone before selling them armor. |

True, but I would imagine business's would do what little they could to prevent it even though a state would have to prove they sold armor to someone knowing that person was a felon. Just saw an article recently in San Antonio where the local police busted a felon that was selling armor and carrier online. |

Because they think it will help them in the event they get sued or prosecuted in the event of a sale to an unlawful party. It won't. |

It won't. fair enough, i just know some places that you can buy armor show a no shipping policy to CT, didnt know why, nor do i really care, them and CA could fall into the ocean and i sure would miss them, f**k those stupid states. Oh and the city of Chicago, its not near the ocean but i think Lake Michigan is big enough handle them. |
