Default RE: Have you ever been shot at?

When I was younger one of my friends (no longer) shot me with a .22 rifle. He thought the gun "was on safety", and pointed it at me (on purpose-he knew it was loaded). I ducked when he pulled the trigger, and it entered just under my left arm. When the x-rays were taken, the bullet had lodged in between my heart and left shoulder socket -- Doctors said that it was too deep to risk surgery, so I still carry it around with me. Last time I had an x-ray it was still there. Since then I have become a hunter ed. instructor, and stress the importance of safe gun handeling, and choosing the right "friends" to hunt with. Sometimes I get a pain in that area to remind me how crucial it is to pick your hunting buddies wisely........
