Why Premier Body Armor Supports Gun Owners of America (GOA)

At Premier Body Armor, we believe deeply in the God-given right to self-defense. That right is recognized and protected by the Second Amendment. It is not a privilege granted by the government, but a safeguard against tyranny and unlawful aggression. 

We proudly support Gun Owners of America (GOA) because they understand that the Second Amendment does not stop at firearms. It includes the tools that make defense real, effective, and survivable. That includes body armor.

The Second Amendment: More Than Just Firearms

The Supreme Court made it clear in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008): the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. Not just for sport. Not just for hunting. For defense, against threats to life, against criminals, and against tyrants.

Owning a firearm without body armor is like locking your doors but leaving your windows wide open. You have taken a step toward protection, but stopped short of real security. Owning a firearm is only half of the equation. Without protective gear, the ability to survive a violent encounter is reduced. Body armor is not about looking tactical. It is about making it home.

Body Armor Is a Self-Defense Tool

The right to bear arms includes the right to bear protection. Body armor helps shield vital organs in the event of gunfire or violence. It does not make you aggressive. It keeps you alive.

• Life-saving Defense: Armor helps prevent fatal wounds during shootings or emergencies
  
  

• Peace Through Preparedness: When you know you are protected, you can act with clarity
  
  

• Passive, Non-Lethal: Body armor is strictly defensive. It is an ideal companion to a concealed carry weapon
  
  

GOA Understands What Is at Stake

Gun Owners of America takes a no-compromise stance on the Second Amendment. They have stood against body armor bans, red flag laws, and overreaching legislation that strips citizens of their right to prepare and protect. When California tried to criminalize body armor ownership for civilians in 2023, GOA stood shoulder to shoulder with us in opposition.

We support GOA because they do not just fight for gun rights. They fight for the entire toolbox of self-defense.

Everyday Armor for Everyday Americans

You do not have to be law enforcement to need protection. We design body armor for citizens who understand that danger does not call ahead. Whether it is a bulletproof backpack insert for your child or our Everyday Armor T-Shirt for low-profile protection, we believe you have a right to prepare for what may come, without apology.

The Right to Defense, Without Exception

From church security teams to off-duty officers, from prepared parents to trained patriots, the common thread is clear. When things go bad, nobody ever regrets being protected. The Second Amendment does not just protect your right to fight back. It protects your right to survive.
