It's not illegal to own, up until recently it was illegal for felon to buy/own/wear one (court struck that law down). It's an enhancement charge if someone is caught wearing body armor during a crime.

Court tosses state ban on felons' body armor

A decade-old California law that bans possession of body armor by anyone with a violent felony conviction is unconstitutional because the average person wouldn't be able to decipher which types of bulletproof vests are prohibited, a state appeals court has ruled.

The law, passed in 1998, was intended to protect police against flak-jacketed criminals such as Lee Boutwell, who fatally shot San Francisco Officer James Guelff in November 1994 and wounded another officer before being killed in a shootout. Congress passed a similar federal law in 2002.
