Go Buy A La-Z-Boy At Once
It could very well save your life. Because they are pretty much bulletproof.
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Now comes another reason to stay put in the La-Z-Boy: A man sitting in his easy chair was shot in the head by his wife, but the sturdy recliner absorbed most of the bullet's force and left him virtually unscathed.
The couple had been arguing at home on Sunday evening, said Contra Costa County sheriff's Lt. Charles Skuce. Then Jan Kamp stood behind her seated husband and fired a gun at the back of his head, Skuce said.
Because she fired through the recliner, the bullet only slightly wounded Norman Kamp, 57, Skuce said.
Norman stood up from his chair, followed his wife into the kitchen and declared, "You shot me," according to authorities.
She tried to shoot him again, by the way. She's been arrested. Me, I'm off to the furniture store. Just in case the wife gets angry.

I saw this story and immediately sent it to Wife, with the subject header: “HAH! I sneer at your piddly .22!”
She sent back: “I know the shotgun cabinet’s combo, Captain Idiot. Now START VACUUMING FOR TOMORROW’S GUESTS!”
Me: “Yes, Dear.”
