I just had a chance to pick up 100 sets of surplus SMALL SIZE (32-36 from what I see) used body armour. Most appears to be Lvl II/Lvl IIA.

Conditions vary, comes with a carrier and front and rear soft armour. It is sold for novelty purposes only and sold as is. So far I've found Pacific Safety and Safariland vests but I'm sure there are many more brands.

Pricing is $69.95 each or 3 for $199.95

You can put requests in when you order but there are no guarantees. We're taking them out of large boxes of 25 vests and won't be sorting them....ie we'll just picking them from the top of the box and working down.

Yes it does. Just changed it to say plates. Lvl II, soft armour plates...or soft armour...which ever you want to call it. There are no ceramic plates, just the soft armour in the carrier.

I thought BC allowed people with a PAL to have body armour or is that some place else?

From my understanding yes, I have a thread about it from 3-4 months ago.

Individuals exempt from requiring a permit to possess body armour while performing the job on which the exemption is granted are:
•Those who have a valid B.C. security worker licence authorizing them to provide the services of an armoured car guard, a private investigator, a security consultant, a security guard and / or a body armour salesperson.
•Peace officers, sheriffs, corrections officers and conservation officers.
•Those employed by the government if wearing body armour is required or allowed in the course of the person's employment.
•Security guards registered as a gaming worker under the Gaming Control Act.
•Individuals who possess a valid firearms licence issued under the Firearms Act (Canada).

From my understanding we are allowed to purchase it...

You may be more justified in your reasoning than you think: This is a quote from a Jeff Cooper Column. I cannot remember when, but the publication was Guns & Ammo: For copyright purposes, Colonel Cooper wrote it, not myself.

"It is generally the counsel of the wimp culture to call a policeman at any violent threat. Well, yes. That is a good idea, in some cases. A lot, of course, depends upon which policeman. For example, in Arlon, Belgium, recently, a woman called for help with a rabid Alsatian dog. The police officer, Marc Fagny, responded with his shotgun. He killed the woman who rendered the complaint. His comment on the subject was, "The bullet went wide. I am a poor shot."
It seems clear to us that one's first line of defense is oneself. When you start calling upon others for help, you may get more than you want."

I would feel safer if I were dressed in complete armour, next time I have to go through a "RIDE" check.

Possession of body armour is fully legal in BC by those who hold a valid Firearms License.

Start here: http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_09024_01#section2

The Act states in Section 2 that:

(2) A person must not possess body armour except under the authority of a valid body armour permit issued in the person's name.

(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to a person who

(a) holds a valid security worker licence authorizing the person to perform the work of

(i) an armoured car guard,

(ii) a private investigator,

(iii) a security consultant,

(iv) a security guard, or

(v) a body armour salesperson,

while the person is in the course of employment under the security worker licence,

(b) holds a valid security business licence for a security business described in paragraph (a), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of "security business" in the Security Services Act, while the person is in the course of employment in relation to the security business licence, or

(c) is exempt under the regulations.

We fall under Section 2 (2) (c). Now refer to the regulations:
http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/203_2010#section2

(2) For the purposes of section 2 (3) (c) of the Act, section 2 (2) of the Act does not apply to a person for the period during which the person

(a) is employed as a peace officer,

(b) is employed by the government, a government corporation, as defined in the Financial Administration Act, the government of Canada or a local authority, if wearing body armour is required or allowed in the course of the person's employment,

(c) is employed as a security guard at a gaming facility, as defined in the Gaming Control Act, and registered as a gaming worker under that Act, or

(d) is an individual who holds a valid licence issued under the Firearms Act (Canada) authorizing the individual to acquire or possess a firearm.

In simple terms, we in BC are allowed to legally possess body armour if we hold a valid PAL.
