I don't have any armor anymore but I do take a trauma kit to the range (usually the woods) as well as hiking and camping. I'll have a couple of Isreali or Osealas bandages along with some Quik Clot and some z folded gauze. I'm still working on getting the tourniquet.
tourniquet
a 57 year old is alive and walking today because we had 1 for one leg, and I borrowed a drunk man's belt to put on the other leg... 43 years ago, when we were 14 years old and his legs went through a plate glass window which acted like a guillotine. 25 minutes till ambulance arrived, arteries were cut in both legs. I talked to him a few months ago, he owns a large company in California now.

Body armor
I had a big blue one in the 80s, I forget the type and brand, traded it to an officer for his 100 club issued one which wasn't as good and he wasn't wearing the issued, but said he'd wear that one so we traded, and I had a T-shirt type
Have none now.
