Seat Belt, Bra Save Woman From Gunshot
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A 44-year-old woman escaped serious injury from a gunshot Sunday thanks to her seat belt and a thick bra strap, authorities said.
Robin Key, 44, of Riverview, Fla., was shot through the windshield of the car she was riding in Sunday. She said she felt a searing pain in her shoulder.
Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies said a .38-caliber bullet smashed through the windshield then bounced off Key's shoulder - thanks to a seat belt and a thick bra strap.
The copper-jacketed slug landed in her lap.
"It's a big bullet, but you had all those forces acting against it," Hillsborough sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway told the St. Petersburg Times. "It's very rare that something like that occurs. She's very lucky. You know, we're just glad she came out OK."
Key said she didn't know why anyone would shoot her. Sheriff's deputies later arrested two men in connection with the shooting several hours later.
Authorities said they do not have a motive for the shooting.

Yes, the force of the thick bra strap....well known deterrent to bullets and Roman hands.

Coming to the dining table with no shirt on.
Blasphemy!
Not in my house mister...you march yourself to the closet and put on a t-shirt at least!
What kind of dweeb keeps t-shirtsin a closet?
Do you put them on hangers?
Do you iron them?
All wimmins is basically geeks at heart.
Personally, I have my T-shirts drycleaned and I keep them in the nifty plastic bags. Is that a problem?
Well, in that you are a blacksmith, and in that dry-cleaning does not remove the aroma of perspiration, it may well be a problem, but it is not my problem.
Here we go....The Lord Ellpus bullet proof bra!
What all the smart gentry are wearing this season.
I think this is what will turn His Lardship on . . .
