[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3084381, member: 13624"] The only mentions of armor in [URL='http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/Index.asp?ftdb=STOKST21&level=1']Title 21 ("Crimes and Punishment")[/URL] are in reference to wearing it while committing or attempting to commit a felony, and the definition. Use the "Search" link and it'll look through the entire title for you. Interestingly, given the definition, I'm not even sure plate is legally considered armor. [URL='http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=69776']21 O.S. 1289.19 (2)[/URL]: "Body armor" means a vest or shirt of ten (10) plies or more of bullet resistant material as defined by the Office of Development, Testing and Dissemination, a division of the United States Department of Justice. Are plates constructed of "plies," or does that only refer to soft armor? And a "plate" wouldn't be a vest or shirt, it would be an insert into a plate carrier (which [I]might[/I] also have soft armor in it, but doesn't have to). The last amendment to the statute was 1992, so I don't think plate was really on the scene yet. [/QUOTE]
