You joke, but I've considered it. Of course, the vest is probably visible and would be perceived as a threat.

There are concealable vests (for undercover officers) which are significantly less noticeable than the classic "tactical" vest. I don't know how easy it is to access them without being an undercover LEO though, they need to be measured and fitted to your body specs.
