Pretty much.
Wear cool stuff. Armor Jacket is great protection, readily available, and completely legal.
In this respect, I feel SR got it wrong. IRL (cringe) most civilians can carry legally, however, wearing or owning body armor is *highly* illegal.
Frankly, I think that it's a little stupid for the law to tell you it's okay to carry enough firepower to kill someone, but how dare you wear something to prevent yourself from being killed.
