If you own a gun for emergency use, you might as well get some armor too. AR500 plates are cheap and have an indefinite shelf life. It's not difficult to keep them in your vehicle with a rifle, food, and water.

When All Else Fails.
Poor Bill.
After the nad kicking poor Bill got on here last night, his scrotum must have scar tissue.
At least he's not re-running the Virginia shooting and promoting gun confiscation.
He is obnoxious at times, but he is our strongest voice on TV.
If used properly, some of this stuff can help you survive being shot at.

Military Arms Channel reviewed some and it was something he felt everyone should have. In the 50's my uncle thought he needed a bomb shelter. At least body armor is cheaper.
I have a hard time envisioning these scenarios. I do not live in downtown Baltimore so Freddie Gray riots are not going to spill over to my little corner of AA co. It will have to be something bigger, huge, a civil war or an invasion. My house is built like most other houses, it is not a castle nor a pillbox. It cannot be defended for any length of time by my wife and myself against a large number of people intent to get inside. There is no need for me to have a hoard of self defense ammo and 3 months supply of food.
If we have to evacuate in a SHTF scenario, AA county to the Hilton in Columbia isn't going to be safe or far enough. We are going to have to live in the woods of Western Maryland for years or escape to the border of Canada or Mexico along with 150 million people with the same idea. You think you will find open gas stations, grocery stores, ATM's and pharmacies?
When the day of Mad Max is here, no one will mistake me for Max. I am already too old and too unhealthy to fight a guerrilla war, so no body armor for me. I will keep plenty of medicinal spirits, which can be enjoyed without Armageddon.

What kind of prices would I be looking at for a vest that I could wear under a t-shirt and would be good to stop handgun rounds?
I would maybe consider wearing one when I am working shooting matches.

You want level IIIA at a minimum, that will stop most ordinary handguns.
They had some at the gun show this weekend but I didn't really pay them any mind.
I was talking with a friend earlier who lives in Arizona and he said the had a ND at their local match this last weekend. Kinda got me thinking.
Knock on wood, the only ND I ever experienced was RO'ing a stage at our state match a few years ago. Even though I was standing where I should have been there was no danger of being hit, it kinda caused a bit of a pucker factor.

The guys at the door at Nation's who check your weapon and zip tie the action wear ceramic plates for ND's.
I noticed that when I had my long guns zip tied. Probably not a bad idea.

What are the laws in Maryland for a citizen to own a bullet proof vest to keep as a collectors item. You buy it and then you store it right in your gun safe.

I have a bulletproof helmet with level IIIA visor.

Pretty sure, as long as you're not a felon or wearing it in the commission of a crime, it's perfectly legal to keep and bare wherever you wish.
