BUTLER TWP., Montgomery County — A woman’s BlackBerry cell phone saved her from serious harm after her boyfriend’s concealed handgun discharged inside a restaurant.

The incident occurred about 11 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, in Fricker’s on Miller Lane, said Butler Twp. police Capt. Carl Bush.

The gun owner, Anthony J. Holtvogt, 24, of Kettering holds a concealed carry permit for the firearm.

He faces one charge of possession of a firearm in a liquor permit premises. The third-degree felony is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Bush said Holtvogt, his girlfriend, 22, and other friends were enjoying beers at Fricker’s, 6834 Miller Lane. The girlfriend lives in Butler Twp.

When they prepared to leave, Holtvogt told police, he picked up his coat and began putting it on. The firearm was in the coat pocket.

The sleeve got caught in the coat, and as Holtvogt reached down, he noticed the slide on the .32-caliber handgun was pulled back. The gun then discharged.

The slug put a hole through his coat and his girlfriend’s jeans, but struck the BlackBerry in her left pants pocket dead center, Bush said. The bullet caused only bruising, and the woman declined medical treatment, Bush said.

“The BlackBerry saved her absolutely,” Bush said. “It could have been pretty serious.”

If Holtvogt is convicted, he faces a mandatory revocation of his concealed carry permit, Bush said.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, which issues the permits, has been notified, Bush said.

Ok, lets break this down, taking the report at face value.
It sounds like an AD, rather than an ND. Either way, no intent, horse play, drunkeness or other BS. Only fault is not using a pocket holster.
5 years for being in a retraurant just because they sold beer? Are these people on crack? WTF?
If the blackberry deflected th bullet as reported, what does this say about .32 as a defensive weapon?

Ohio law makes it very clear, and it is required that you sign a notice of understanding before getting your CCW, that you CANNOT carry in locations that sell alcohol for consumption on premises. End of story. He can say goodbye to his permit and probably his gun in this state. They will more than likely pursue this. Ohio is getting more and more Sheriffs that don't like us having guns.

Thought .50 GI was a Glock thing? Truly said though except for those of us who carry full sized .45s all the time... (or .40s with one shot shy of 50 rounds on us all the time... wink wink....)

Iphone has a tempered glass face, so believe it or not, the Apple shit isn't as wussy pants as you may think... My Droid is all Aluminium and Tempered Glass so it is much more ballistic protection than three Blackberries or two Iphones .... LMAO
