Restriction on Possession or Purchase of Body Armor. It is against Federal Law for a person
convicted of a violent felony to purchase or possess body armor. In addition, various States
also have laws restricting the purchase or possession of body armor by persons convicted of
drug crimes, certain felonies, or other crimes of violence. By purchasing body armor from
AMI you acknowledge and certify that: (1) you have no felony convictions, (2) you have not
been convicted of any other crime that would restrict your ability to purchase or possess
body armor under any State or Federal law, (3) you do not intend to use the body armor for
any criminal purpose and (4) you are over 18 years old. AMI reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to refuse to sell body armor to any person. Additionally, the sale of body armor
to residents of Connecticut is restricted to in-person sales, unless the sale is made to
certain law enforcement or military personnel.
