St. Petersburg, Florida - Debbie Bingham says she was outside enjoying the neighborhood fireworks on New Year's Eve when she felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder.
Debbie Bingham, Shot in Shoulder: "I grabbed my shoulder and noticed I was bleeding. And then I pulled my blouse back and saw the big hole and realized that it was a gun shot." Someone had fired a gun into the air, and Bingham was struck by the falling bullet. Bingham says it would have been much worse, if not for her bra.
Debbie Bingham, Shot in Shoulder: "The bullet was halfway inside of my bra, and the other half right on the tip of my skin." Bingham believes the bra helped stopped the 45-caliber bullet. Police still don't know who fired the gun, but say it is against the law to shoot a gun into the air.
Debbie Bingham was taken to the hospital after the incident and needed five stitches. But she's just happy it wasn't worse and thankful for her bra.
Debbie Bingham, Shot in Shoulder: "It was a very cheap bra. it wasn't very expensive and I'd love to have a couple more of those bras."

We can conclude from the above that a mansière would have also been effective, yes? Don't you mean "a bro"?

Was that one of those "bullet bras" I've heard about?

From my visits to the Tampa/St. Pete area, I am surprised to learn that there is a woman there that owns a bra!

This reminds me of the missus - she's not a big woman physically, but she's 'endowed' to the point of having to resort to wearing sports bras, giving her that 'cyclops' look when she goes to work or we head to the gym. May The Lord strike me dead if I'm exaggerating, but if it came down to brass tacks, she could thrust those puppies forward and stop a runaway Kenworth with smoking brakes. Nothing against you' small stature' ladies, by any means, but I love a woman who's equipped with the 'SUV air bags'. LOL

It's not the bras that have stymied my "bullets", but the Gordian Knot-like clasps that seal them. Curse them!

The torpedo raised a lot of periscopes. "Snap One! Snap Two! Snap Three!

I honestly don't know, perhaps someone else remembers.
