Concealed Carry

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)– One woman discovered on New Year’s Eve that her bra could do more than lift and support when a falling bullet was halted by the bra strap on her left shoulder.
Debbie Bingham, 46, an Atlanta resident visiting family in St. Petersburg, said her gold bra slowed the falling bullet during the holiday celebrations.
Wonder Woman’s bracelets have nothing on bullet-deflecting underwear.
Her injuries may have been much more severe had it not been for her bra strap, said George Kajtsa, spokesman for the St. Petersburg Police Department.
The bullet was halfway inside of Bingham’s bra, and the other half barely breaking the skin, Bingham later told WTSP-TV.
As for the shooter, law enforcement is on the case.
St. Petersburg police are still searching for the shooter to determine if Bingham was the target of the gunfire or if she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, Kajtsa said.
One can almost picture the gang member doing his trajectory calculations for firing that slug in a mile-high arc, only to have the bullet blocked by a bothersome ballistic bra.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation, Jeremy.
The guy that fired his weapon up in the air, at random, must have been a real BOOB!!
I do hope it wasn’t one of them “lunchroom, ladies bras”!!

Always happy to do the tough research for you guys.
If we’re taking votes I say we need more stories like this here. Yes, shows where my mind is at.
This is serious business as far as I am concerned. I wonder if Vanity Fair and other lingerie companies would consider creating a real bullet-proof bra. I would volunteer as a consultant since I wear minimizers (not fun to have that probblem).
The spell police are out and about…misspelled problem (last word).
