Sorry, but no one is likely to search the individual statutes of all 50 states for you for this answer. Suffice it to say that in most states (MAYBE not all) it is lawful to possess a bullet-proof vest - PROVIDING you are not wearing it during the commission of a crime. If it is THAT important to you, contact your local law enforcement agency in YOUR state and simply ask.

That said, I don't know about Virginia law, but vests are legal in most states.
