A Florida woman named Samantha Lynn Frazier was shot and injured as she tried to enter a bar in Atlantic City. The shot hit her in her love handle, which, she says, saved her life.

If she lost weight she would be a smaller target.
Just a excuse to stay fat and lazy.

I was unaware that body fat is the equivalent of kevlar. Thanks for that education, fat woman that looks like a man.

Wow FAT saves lives?! finally I've heard it all.

I saw a MythBusters episode dealing with muscle mass stopping a bullet. The conclusion of their testing was that it wasn't possible to have a large enough muscle (arm, glute or other) that it would stop a .38 bullet. I would think fat would be even less resistance than muscle.
Go ahead and get fat, Ma'am. It will improve your chances of dying from heart disease, diabetes, or a bad fall before you are shot to death.

Any self-respecting bullet would do a U-turn.

Thank you Nemisis. I do the best I can.

Yuck, can someone remove that pic?

Yeah... If the love handles weren't there the bullet would have missed completely. Of course, then she wouldn't get to be on TV...

"Wow FAT saves lives?! finally I've heard it all."....
Sure does; at least five people could stand behind her to be shielded from bullet sprays.

I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery, huh
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
Hey hey!

Not to have a correct political point of view is like having no soul
