Open question:
Are bullet-resistant vests illegal in SC? My Constitutional Law professor says they are illegal to possess (but not to own )... he works for the Marion County Sherrif's Dept. and has been an LEO for years. I know, I know, doesn't make him correct.
I've dredged the entire SC statehouse legislation webpage and come up with nothing. I always thought it was legal to own and wear, unless you are in the act of committing a crime.
P.S. - We got on the topic because of a controversy about an LEO in Marion who sold an old bullet resistant vest to someone. Maybe it's illegal to own an old police-used model, but can buy a new one?
Help me guys, I want this guy to know the truth when I go back to class on thursday. He's a really nice guy, I just want to correct him if he's wrong.
