.44 mag to the chest (vest) at near point-blank range. Ouch!!
Hadn’t seen this picture until tonight. Amazing this officer was able to quickly react and take out the threat. Hats off to him!
Also….look how close to the edge of the vest. Yikes! Close call for sure.

I would not like to find that out for myself !!! Great press for the Vest maker !
The best part of this where we read the scum bag is the perp is no longer breathing air. Cop deserves a commendation.
I don't know if I'd have the wherewithal to return fire like he did.
Here's the video of Second Chance Vest inventor shooting himself with a 44 mag to prove it worked. AND, he kept doing it. Not me, nope, no way!

Yep. Folks familiar with my favorite book will note that he appears in the novel as "David Richards" and the name of the body armor company is changed from "Second Chance" to "New Lease", but that is the guy mentioned in Unintended Consequences. Quite the fellow.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Looks clearly like a Desert Eagle .44 to me.
