Ok I was thumbing through a copy of SOF magazine as I was having a slow day (good to be the boss) when I spotted an advertisement for Surefire Torches. Seems a Surefire torch on the belt of a LEO deflect a slug from an offender who was shooting at him and the bloody torch still worked fine.
I do recall Mythbusters trying a stabbing on a breast pocket bible (but substituted the bible for a similar book) and it was found plausible and as a young lad recall going to the Police Museum display at our Easter Show and seeing a 10" police truncheon (walloper - wooden baton) that was inside the breast pocket of a cop in the 1800's who was walking the beat when he was shot and the bullet landed in the wooden fibres taking the force and the slug was stopped saving the life of the LEO.
So have you ever heard of similar incidents or know of anything similar that saved a life ?
