Not true.

Body armor is not illegal. However, many states have penalty enhancers if you commit a crime while wearing body armor. If that is the case, it would not matter if it is above or beneath your clothing.

Liberty or Death

I have never heard that, but I would not find it surprising that some state would have a stupid law like that. I am only aware of laws that provide for enhanced penalties for wearing a ballistic vest during the commission of a crime.

I've heard that before

Some states prohibit convicted felons from possession of body armor. I have never heard of any law requiring the wearing of it as an outer garment.

You can wear it any way you want.
