I wear mine at work most of the time except on hikes. Heat injury is a larger threat than gunfire in the areas we hike.

I've worn one (IIA) on duty for 12 years now.

I still can't get used to how uncomfortable it is, nothing is better than body armor on a 90+ degree day. Also, I don't think it's something you have time to don in a crisis and that's why it's not on the seat next to me.

Well, that saves me from having to look that one up, but it turns out I did remember the law correctly...

It took me years to get comfortable wearing armor that was tailor made for me much less some off the rack stuff. Not sure where a citizen would get the chance to wear some except for a SHTF scenario, and that is not the time to try to get used to it or wearing it with your other gear. Not to mention it will likely only stop handgun rounds and that is not what you would be facing. - George

A good compromise is a ballistic insert. Can be used in a laptop bag, briefcase, backpack, diaper bag, large purse, etc.

I have one in my briefcase - Level III. Will stop pistol caliber bullets even when fired by carbine-length barrels.

Cost is reasonable - got mine from BulletProofME.com Body Armor / Bullet proof Vests

There have been a few times at public ranges that I really wished I had one on. I always thought of buying one just for that reason.

For what I do and where I go...in shorts and T-shirts...it would be a bit over the top.

With my luck, if I'm wearing a vest, I'll get shot in the oompa loompas. I think I'd rather take it in the chest.

'Just kidding.

I've often thought of keeping a tactical vest, complete with armament (plates/ammo & guns), hanging in a safe and ready to go.
