Richard Davis is the inventor of the modern bulletproof vest who shot himself point-blank multiple times to demonstrate its effectiveness. An ex-Marine and former pizzeria owner, he created low-budget films that gained popularity among law enforcement across the United States. He founded the company Second Chance, which evolved into a multimillion-dollar business. Additionally, Davis created promotional materials about the life-saving impact of his vests, despite skepticism from some who questioned his methods. His story is explored in the documentary '2nd Chance' (2022), directed by Ramin Bahrani.
