Is it illegal to wear body armor in the US?

No, it’s legal in most places. But it’s very important to have a good reason to wear it, and to follow the law in your state.

I feel like it would be illegal to walk around wearing it.

Why do you think that?

It just seems like you are looking for trouble.

That’s an important point. There are legal consequences for threatening people, or getting in fights. The law can only define the situation so much, and many of the laws for weapon ownership can be overridden by custom and other social laws.

I don’t think it’s illegal to wear it to the store, or to wear it in a public space like a park.
