Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions below.

  • Can a civilian own riot gear?

    Yes, civilians can legally own riot gear in the United States, as there are no federal laws prohibiting the purchase or possession of protective equipment like helmets, shields, and body armor. Riot gear is considered defensive rather than offensive, making it generally unrestricted for law-abiding citizens. However, some states or municipalities may regulate wearing riot gear in public, especially during protests or demonstrations, to prevent misuse. Using riot gear during a crime can lead to enhanced penalties. For personal protection, training, or collection purposes, owning riot gear is legal and widely available through tactical gear suppliers.

  • Is it legal to buy riot gear?

    It is legal to buy riot gear in most U.S. states, and there are no federal restrictions on purchasing items such as riot shields, helmets, and protective suits. Riot gear is classified as personal protective equipment, not a weapon, which makes it accessible to civilians. Many people purchase riot gear for emergency preparedness, security work, or training scenarios. However, local laws may restrict wearing riot gear in public during certain events, such as protests, to maintain public safety. Always check state and municipal regulations before using riot gear outside your home.

  • Is riot gear legal?

    Riot gear is legal for civilians to own and use in most jurisdictions, provided it is not used for unlawful purposes. Federal law does not prohibit possession, and riot gear is commonly sold by tactical suppliers for security professionals and private citizens. Restrictions typically apply to wearing riot gear during demonstrations or committing crimes, which can result in enhanced penalties. Riot gear is intended for protection against blunt force, thrown objects, and non-lethal threats, making it a defensive tool rather than an offensive weapon. Responsible ownership and compliance with local laws are essential.

  • How bulletproof is Riot Armor?

    Riot armor is not bulletproof; it is designed to protect against blunt force trauma, thrown objects, and non-lethal projectiles like rubber bullets. Most riot suits are made from impact-resistant materials such as polycarbonate and padded fabrics, which absorb and disperse energy from strikes. They do not contain ballistic-rated materials like Kevlar or ceramic plates, so they cannot stop handgun or rifle rounds. For firearm protection, ballistic armor rated at NIJ Level IIIA or higher is required. Riot armor focuses on mobility and impact resistance rather than ballistic defense, making it suitable for crowd control but not gunfire.
