No I do believe that gangs perform violence on non-gang members often. Again you stated that people would sit at home with body armor on because they were afraid of being shot. I don't believe this and you have not shown any evidence of this.

Let's look at it a different way. Is there a single real world example that actually occurred where a civilian was saved because of body armor? (Again I'm talking combat armor here not a bullet proof vest). We can find numerous examples where civilians having access to this armor was bad (hollywood shootout). All i'm asking you guys to do is provide me a real world example where it is used.

So far the best reason anyone has posted was to wear it to a gun range. My challenge to this is find me a case where the combat armor actually protected someone at a gun range.
