Bullet Proof Me
Body Armor is a purely defensive item but, regardless, we are very sensitive to the possibility of vests being misused by criminals. By buying a vest from us, you certify that you are a law-abiding adult with no felony convictions (we do not sell to felons or minors, and it is against the law for a felon to possess Body Armor in California.) We cooperate with law enforcement to stop the use of vests by criminals. If you have any criminal purpose in mind (or resell your armor to a criminal) you do NOT want to have bought Body Armor from us! (See our Privacy Commitment)
We reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone, in our sole discretion. By buying body armor you guarantee that you are not legally prohibited from owning firearms or body armor and also that you are not associated with any criminal group, in any way, and have only a lawful self-defense purpose for owning body armor.
Shipping Level III and IV armor plates outside the United States of America requires a U.S. State Department export permit. Level II-A, Level II and Level III-A Body Armor may require a Department of Commerce export license. It is the SOLE responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all transactions conform to US and local Federal, State and Local Statutes, Codes, and Ordinances.
