I believe that any handgun holding armor piercing ammo in it is a violation of both state and federal law. I haven't seen ammo piercing handgun ammo offered for sale for at least 30 years. Not to mention the fact that handgun ammo generally does not generate enough velocity for even a penetrating core projectile to be able to defeat TRUE armor.

As for ballistic vests, several types of legal handgun projectiles can penetrate all but the most durable vests. But the military definition of "armor" does not include personal vests.
