No lasting damage except for some lymphodema (swelling) that I am told will never go away. "Luckily" I was shot with a .25 cal bullet and it did not hit bone or any major blood vessels.

I was shot in south Jamaica Queens NY. I had just exited my work truck (parked on a city street) and was walking down the street to a customers house.

Thanks for your reply,

I would like to mention that gun "experts" often say that a .22, .25, .32 caliber bullets are not good man-stoppers but I can tell you that .25 caliber round put this 300+ pound guy right down to the ground. Just thought I would mention it as I am a living "guinea pig"
