In the state of New Jersey, a convicted felon cannot purchase or use body armor including a bulletproof vest. Also, if a person in NJ commits a crime wearing a bulletproof vest, they can be charged for this as a separate crime.

Yes, it is illegal for a convicted felon to possess body armor in New Jersey. Under state law, convicted felons are prohibited from owning body armor in order to protect the public from potential harm. Violating this law can result in serious consequences.

(in the US) many(all?) states specifically forbid felons from possessing body armor. If you have a question about this, check specifically your own state's statutes.

Do you have to give up your guns on a hit an run felony?

If you have been convicted of a felony (ANY felony) it is a violation of Federal law to possess a firearm. If the felony was a STATE crime, and you have completed your sentence, been released from parole, you can apply (in most states) to have your gun rights restored. Until that happens, if you are found to possess a firearm, you can go to prison. The law is US Code, Title 18, Section 922.
