Maybe there's something to this. I knew bras could be a formidable obstacle in a young lady's arsenal, but this may be even another application.

Seat belt, bra strap save Florida woman from gunshot

Updated: 9:50 p.m. ET May 16, 2006
TAMPA, Fla. - A 44-year-old woman escaped serious injury from a gunshot Sunday thanks to her seat belt and a thick bra strap, authorities said.
Robin Key, 44, of Riverview, Fla., was shot through the windshield of the car she was riding in Sunday. She said she felt a searing pain in her shoulder.
Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies said a .38-caliber bullet smashed through the windshield then bounced off Key's shoulder — thanks to a seat belt and a thick bra strap.

The copper-jacketed slug landed in her lap.
"It's a big bullet, but you had all those forces acting against it," Hillsborough sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway told the St. Petersburg Times. "It's very rare that something like that occurs. She's very lucky. You know, we're just glad she came out OK."
Key said she didn't know why anyone would shoot her. Sheriff's deputies arrested two men in connection with the shooting several hours later.

ummm... strange, but a .38 isn't a large bullet.

"...............in other news today, the United States Army and Marine Corps are issuing a new directive on issue body armor requirements. Along with the IBA and SAPI plates, all personnel will be required to wear at minimum a C cup bra with underwire. The Department of Defense claims research indicates boobie holsters will decrease gunshot wounds by 45%."
