While riding on his John Deere, Richard suddenly felt a “hard punch” hit him in the chest just over his heart. The Tammany News reported that when he grabbed his sweater to find out what the heck slammed into him a .45-caliber slug fell on the ground. What was going through his mind?The bullet struck the cell phone that was in his chest pocket, tore it in two, and slowed the bullet just enough to keep it from entering his chest and piercing his heart. It is unknown, as of the writing of the article review, where the bullet came from but officials believe that it came from nearby hunters.
Not only did this incident make Ronald appreciate his life more, I’m assuming, but it also motivates him to be more active for stricter restriction of firing guns in the area. The Richards already sent a letter to Chris Cooper, the St. Tammany Parish District 2 Councilman, in attempt to compel him to do what he can to pass more strict ordinances concerning firearms. Now that this story has worldwide attention, I assume changes will soon be made.
I wonder what he’s going to be doing with the bullet. Who needs a bullet proof vest when you’ve got a cell phone?
