New York Has Banned Civilian Body Armor: What You Can Do About It Now!
New York has enacted a ban on the purchase and sale of civilian body armor, effective the 19th of the month. The law, referencing NY Penal Code 230-20, specifically targets soft body armor designed for handgun rounds. Hard armor plates capable of stopping rifle rounds are not explicitly included in the current definition, though amendments are anticipated. Residents are urged to purchase body armor before the effective date due to potential future restrictions and the relatively low cost of protective gear.
