Hmmm...

Based on the # of police shootings of more-or-less innocent and/or unarmed people in the last several years (e.g., Black Lives Matter), wearing body armor may soon become a necessity for all of us.

Wearing body armor may at least preserve your life so you can appeal your conviction for wearing body armor.

It's curious that wearing a motorcycle or bicycle *helmet* is *required by law*, while wearing *body armor* is *prohibited by law*.  Given the current shortage of organ donors, perhaps the law should be flipped?

BTW, the newest mountain biking & skiing body armor *inflates like an airbag*.  Very cool!
