BOGOTÃ, COLOMBIA: Erik (of TheGlobalTrip.com) gets shot point-blank in the stomach by a .38 caliber handgun while wearing a fashionable bulletproof leather jacket designed by Miguel Caballero, the “Armani of Bulletproof Apparel.” Miguel Caballero himself conducts the demonstration.
This video corresponds to The Global Trip blog entry, “I Got Shot In Colombia And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt” (from “The Central American Eviction Tour”).
When I was in Bogota, I remember reading about Miguel Caballero in The Lonely Planet, but I never made an effort to check out his operation.
And don't worry mom, I have no intention of going back just to test out his infamous bulletproof jackets first hand!
