Not in Australia. If you are caught wearing a bullet-proof vest without a licence in Australia you will be charged under concealed firearms laws. In the U.S. it is legal to wear a bullet proof vest in most states, possibly all, unless you are a felon or are committing a crime while wearing it.

In the United States, as a general rule, yes, anyone except a person convicted of a violent felony can legally purchase one. It is illegal to use a BPV while committing a crime.

In other countries such as Australia and Russia it is permitted to hold a bullet proof vest only if one has a licence.

In general, a non-felon can own a bullet proof vest. It's legal to own one and/or wear one as long as you aren't using it during the commission of a crime. I believe they are legal in all states, except for that.

In most cases, police do not have to furnish their own bullet proof vests. They are furnished by the county, city or department that the work in.
