Bulletproof BlackBerry Saves Life

Published

on

You’ve heard the legend of Lt. Dixon’s bulletproof gold coin, but what about the lady who lived to see another day thanks to her bulletproof BlackBerry?  A Dayton, Ohio, woman is lucky to be alive thanks to her lifesaving smartphone.  According to police, the BlackBerry was in the right place at the right time when a gentleman with a concealed carry permit, the license allowing private individuals to carry their own firearm, accidently discharged his gun.  The gun owner was putting on his jacket when his gun fired, striking the nearby lady in the leg.  Thankfully, the bullet caused no damage other than destroying the BlackBerry and ripping a hole in the lady’s jeans.  Kennan Oliphant explains the amazing story in the video below.  You may want to think twice about which pocket your smartphone calls home.

    Remember when it used to be a pocket Bible or a whiskey flask that saved you from a bullet?

    The times, they are a changin’.

    and killeed people.
