No story surprises me anymore....................I wonder if this will be added to the tag-line; "Is the 9mm enough gun?"

A woman who was shot by her ex-boyfriend claims she is only still alive because of her breast implants.

Eileen Likness, of Calgary in Canada, was testifying during her ex-boyfriend’s trial and told the court: “My implants took the brunt of the force.”

 

Ms Likness says a bullet fired from defendant Frank Chora’s 9mm handgun entered her right breast, grazed her chest plate and then exited her left breast before going through her left forearm, reports the Toronto Sun.

"They were gone," Ms Likness told defence lawyer Adriano Lovinell.

 

However, after recovering, she did confirm she got the implants replaced, adding: “I had to wait some time, but yes, I had some put back in.”

 

Mr Chora is facing charges of attempted murder and assault, as well as two firearm offences.

Ms Likeness told court said she had been driving Mr Chora around before deciding to drop him off. When they pulled into a side-street at Mr Chora’s request, he got out and then shot her. The case continues.

 

It is not the first time breast implants are claimed to have saved somebody’s life.

 

Back in January it was widely reported that a woman in Houston claimed her 16-KKK (US size 38KKK) implants protected her as they acted like an airbag when she crashed into a tree.

 

“My breasts stopped my face and my head being hit. I am so thankful for them,” Sheyla Hershey said. "I think my breasts saved my life”.

 

The Daily Mail reported that in the same month a Florida woman survived a stabbing when an ex-fiance’s new partner stabbed her, but the implants ensured she avoided major damage.

 

And three years ago a woman was working in a dentist’s surgery in Beverly Hills in America when a man burst in with a shotgun and opened fire, but her implants prevented her heart being pierced with bullets.

1) it appears as though he shot her from the side and it went in one boob and out the other. They were driving in a car and she dropped him off. He shot her while she was sitting in the driver's seat. So, the 9mm penetrated and exited both breasts.

 

2) This story is in Canada. I thought it was a bastion of gun restrictions where nothing bad ever happens. I love a good fiction.

Ridiculous. I wonder if this woman ever took geometry. If she didn't have the implants I wonder if the bullet would have missed completely. Based on the title I was thinking it was a head on shot and the implant actually stopped the bullet, which would actually be pretty interesting, this doesn't even make sense. People are dumb.

I'd fault the guy for being a bad shot, but it does reinforce the trope that a man just can't keep his eyes off a woman's breasts.

haha! Unless he paid for them and was reclaiming his property.

Pretty amazing story.

 

While I've never had MY life saved by breast implants, they have--on occasion--made me very happy to be alive.

Seriously Sheyla Hershey 38KKK, that is just a little absurd.

 

Cleavage heals.

Shooting sheyla Hershey's implants would basically be a ballistics gel test.

All this talk of boobs and guns.........

 

 

do they make that emblam for guns and booties?

 

Watch out for trigger discipline.

You're not opposed to large breasts are you?

not necessarily my cup of tea per say, although they are mighty nice to look at. Imagine getting beaten with two watermelons in the sack... her car must have flooded when they broke...haha, surprised she didnt drown.

Not that I've seen yet. This is actually a patch.

I gotta say..breast implants have had a major affect on my life on a day to day basis. Not necessarily life saving, but important non-the-less.

Seriously Sheyla Hershey 38KKK, that is just a little absurd.

 

I wonder if this back stop is NRA approved?
