Cell phone in mans chest pocket stops bullet

A man says his cell phone saved his life. A stray .45-caliber bullet hit R.J. Richard's chest while he was mowing the lawn _ hitting so hard he thought it was a stone kicked out by his tractor. He pulled out the phone. It fell apart.

The 68-year-old man was bruised. He said doctors told him two things prevented worse injury, maybe even death: the phone, and the fact that the bullet came in at an angle rather than head-on.

Reports of pocket Bibles saving their owners' lives pop up every so often. Richard says he's sure that God told him to put the phone in his overalls chest pocket rather than a pants pocket as usual. He said that Saturday's incident increased his faith.

He figured the bullet was fired by a hunter in woods near his 5-acre property.

I thought this was awesome sotry with a happy ending. Somebody was watching over this man and Im glad he lived to tell his story.I thought I had bad luck, This poor guy is cruising on his tractor and one single bullet comes flying out of the treeline of a hunter.

The only odd thing is the caliber of the bullet..I dont hunt animals but Ive never heard of a hunter using a 45. and a 45. does not have a far trajectory due to the size of the projectile.. I guess God was on his side today or just who was this R.J Richards guy? lol
