As it's been said, depends on your state and local laws.
The interceptor is OK but I'd recommend the eagle industries scalable plate carrier. It has level 3 body armor (same as IOTV) but it's a lot lighter and more maneuverable and the costs are comparable. It's what we in the Marine Corps are currently using in Afghanistan.
