He is probably some degree of naturally crazy, although some of that is genetic and can’t be helped, I would be interested in knowing what type of parents this guy has, IMO the odds are his parents were on drugs from the time they were children, advanced on to other mind altering drugs all legal and combined with alcohol and other illegal drugs and then pass that on to children, it’s inevitable you will get lunatics as children.

Well, he’ll be able to say that the Bible saved his life...

I get HOT in the chest sometimes too.
It mostly happens IF I drink too much bourbon.

Didn’t Teddy Roosevelt get shot in the chest and survived because it hit his speech or some book he had in his pocket.

After which he said it takes more than one bullet to kill a bull moose.

He had a 50 page speech in his pocket which absorbed some of the energy.

“The horrified audience in the Milwaukee Auditorium on October 14, 1912, gasped as the former president unbuttoned his vest to reveal his bloodstained shirt. “It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” the wounded candidate assured them.”

“It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” the wounded candidate assured them.”

He was shot with a .38 Colt revolver (model 1892). The 1892 was chambered in the .38 Long Colt, a predecessor to the .38 special. The .38 Long Colt fired a 150 grain bullet at about 750 fps.

It is a bit more powerful than the .38 S&W, with has a standard load of a 146 grain bullet at about 650 fps.

If you have a revolver chambered for .38 Long Colt, the tend to perform well with mild .38 S&W Special loads using hollow-based 148 grain wadcutter bullets. The hollowbased bullets expand to engage the rifling and produce good accuracy.
