A Different Kind Of Protection From Gold

People who acquire gold for protection normally do so to protect wealth, but there's a case of a man whose gold may have protected his life. He was shot at by his younger brother and the bullet was deflected by his gold tooth.

Walter [Davis, 22] was struck in the upper lip and doctors at Interim Louisiana State University Public Hospital said all they found was a bullet fragment near his left nostril. Paramedics said the victim told them the bullet ricocheted off his gold tooth.

He didn't want to press charges against his brother, but the police nabbed the guy anyway.
