About a pound per plate so do it over a couple of months.

But I think it may be a good investment as most folks will not have guns but will be far more likely to possess blades...

That being said, the armour will only protect your torso and vitals but still leave other critical areas exposed (legs and the femoral arteries, neck and the carotids) for example...

Never an easy solution...*sigh*

where the heck do you buy a bullet proof vest(especially in my size) without arousing suspicion??

I am very interested in the answer to this too. It would certainly save a lot of hassle...

eBay. They sell everything. Ex mil or police. My personal opinion is buying from abroad as I'm not convinced our PTB wouldn't cut corners & provide our troops/police with sub-standard products to save a few quid. Hopefully any recent ex mil staff can add a bit more insight as to wether the British gear is any good or not.
