Ok, so I am wondering if anyone can clarify the laws regarding body armor purchase/use/possession. So far, I have been unable to find any bonafide literature on the subject. The closest thing I have found though a search of MSP's website was this...
http://www.msp.maryland.gov/Downloads/Licensing_Application.pdf
and within this, on page 4 is "
4) APPLICATION FOR BULLETPROOF BODY ARMOR:
Maryland law mandates that all persons with a prior CONVICTION for a crime of violence or a drug trafficking crime are
prohibited from using, possessing, or purchasing bulletproof body armor without a permit issued by the Secretary of the
Maryland State Police.
NOTE: A permit to use, possess, or purchase bulletproof body armor is not required for persons not convicted of a
crime of violence or a drug trafficking crime.
ATTENTION: SUBMISSION OF THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT PERMIT YOU TO USE, POSSESS, OR
PURCHASE BULLETPROOF BODY ARMOR. BEFORE YOU USE, POSSESS OR PURCHASE BULLETPROOF
BODY ARMOR, YOU MUST POSSESS A VALID PERMIT AND KEEP IT ON YOUR PERSON WHILE USING,
POSSESSING, OR PURCHASING THE BODY ARMOR."
It states that one without a conviction of a violent crime you are not required to have a permit to use/possess... but than states you must possess a valid permit while using/possessing.... im confused!?
