Reminds me of that YouTuber that convinced his pregnant partner to shoot him with a desert eagle while holding an encyclopedia in front of his chest. He died, she was sentenced to 180 days for manslaughter
It went through the book. I don’t know if a bullet proof vest can stop a 50 cal fired from a foot away either tbh, but definitely like you’re saying it won’t prevent injury
I would imagine the blanket statute to refer to is something like reckless endangerment, or perhaps more likely would be the firearms themselves being unlicensed.
Additionally, if I shot at someone who was wearing a bulletproof vest, it still would be attempted murder. If they asked me to shoot at them, it still would continue to be attempted murder (“no judge, they asked me to shoot them and I missed”).
I mean, even if someone explicitly asked for you to kill them, in writing, notarized, and all that legal jazz, then you’re getting into the realm of assisted suicide and that lovely grey area of morality. Though I believe it’s still illegal throughout the US.

Sounds like they were arrested for aggravated assault https://wreg.com/news/arkansas-men-arrested-for-shooting-each-other-while-wearing-bulletproof-vest/

well “arrested” doesn’t actually mean it’s illegal, it just means the cops thought they likely did something illegal

Generally a bad idea to allow ppl to shoot at each other.

What if one person was inebriated? Developmentally challenged? homicidal? Suicidal? A really bad shot?

Especially in the US?? It’s not like they won’t be paying for their own healthcare lmao
