While on the topic of 3 gun. I saw on the WRAS website something called "Trooper" class where people would carry all their kit all day including body armor. I was under the impression body armor was not legal in Alberta. Was I misinformed?
EDIT: Nevermind my previous question, I found the answer in Alberta's Body Armor Control Act
Are some individuals exempted from the Act?
Yes. Any person or any occupation with a legitimate need for body armour is exempt from the Act. The following persons are exempt while performing duties within the scope of their employment:
Police officers
Peace officers
Ambulance attendants
Wildlife or conservation officers
Firefighters
Individual holding a valid license under the Security Services and Investigators Act (i.e., security guard, investigator, loss prevention worker, bodyguard)
Individuals holding a valid licence under the Firearms Act (Canada);
Gaming and Liquor Act inspectors
Business owners, or employees of a business, who in the ordinary course of that business or employment purchases, sells, transports or otherwise deals with body armour;
Public officers as defined in section 117.07 of the Criminal Code (Canada);
Individuals or museums who are collectors of medieval or historical armour or reproductions of medieval or historical armour;
Manufacturers of reproductions of medieval or historical armour;
Individuals involved in farming or ranching operations, while engaged in farming or ranching operations;
Individuals performing in an exhibition, stampede, rodeo, fair or sporting event.
Therefore if you have a PAL / RPAL you can still buy and own body armor in Alberta, correct?
) I was hoping someone with more experience and knowledge could give me some advice. Would a normal plate carrier like the one in the pic be comfortable for a lady shooter or is there a preferred type that ladies use? Thanks
