Don't know that there are any reliable statistics on this subject. Suffice it to say, A WHOLE LOT LESS than if the subjects had NOT been wearing one.
You can always be sued for hurting someone. Is it worse to hurt someone while wearing a bullet proof vest? Not particularly.
In the U.S. having a bullet proof vest isn't illegal unless you are a felon (in some states) or are committing a crime while wearing it.
Providing you are not wearing it while committing a criminal act ... yes !!!

You must work in law enforcement in order to buy a bulletproof vest. It is against the law otherwise.You can't purchase a bulletproof vest online without certifying that you work in law enforcement.
Depends on why you're wearing it, and what you're wearing it for. Unless specifically prohibited by statute in your jurisdiction, no. Not unless, by doing so, you intend to protect yourself from injury while committing an unlawful act. Then the vest becomes "an implement of crime." It is all in THE INTENT with which it is worn.
Yes. Contrary to popular belief, bullet proof vests are legal and available to the general public. It is illegal to wear a BPV while committing a crime in most states, and a few states prohibit possession of BPVs by felons.

Generally speaking, no. Bullet proof vests are legal to have in the U.S. unless you are a felon (in some states) or are using it while committing a crime. There is no law requiring you to keep proof of everything you've ever purchased, so the only time you should have a problem is if the officer has some reason to suspect the vest is stolen.
Absolutely. Forget what you see in movies & on TV. A bulletproof vest may prevent a projectile from puncturing your body, but it will still feel like you have been hit with a sledge hammer. There will be bruising, bleeding and possibly broken bones (ribs/sternum) if one is shot while wearing a bulletproof vest.
yes in some cases. the A-10 pilot sits inside a titanium armor plate "bathtub" while flying.
