I don't see why you all get so upset over a simple question. I asked for a reasonable example of why civilians would need this for non-work related activities and instead I get a bunch of upset people... Many of you are very defensive about this question. I suspect it is because the only reasons you can think of are 1) its cool and 2) I might need it to help take over the government someday. If your reasoning is 2 don't you think the government has an interest in keeping it out of your hands?
It would be interesting to look at a simple cost/benefit analysis of civilians owning combat armor. How many lives have been lost because of it and how many have been saved because of it.
