True but I just can't help but think a lot of folks that see this as too much government control will take an opposite view when a couple guys like these show up on the scene.

Personally I don't care.
I have body armour and would only wear it when I need it for work.
It is heavy and hot. With the ceramic plates it is even worse.
It isn't the light stuff that most folks are talking about but I just don't see the need or have the desire personally in my day to day...

Others feel differently and thats their choice.
