ROGERS, Ark. (AP) — Two Arkansas men have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault after police say they shot each other while taking turns wearing a bulletproof vest.

Quote
A police affidavit says the two men are neighbors and were drinking on a deck Sunday when Ferris told Hicks to shoot him with a .22-caliber rifle while Ferris wore the vest. The affidavit says the shot left a red mark on Ferris' chest and that he was angry because it hurt.

The affidavit says Hicks then put on the vest and Ferris "unloaded the clip" into his back, causing bruises but no serious injuries.

I thought you studied the law?

If you commit an act that can seriously injure or kill another person EVEN IF that person asked you to, it's illegal, and you'll face charges.

We can't allow people to use the "but he asked me to shoot him" defense.  You have the choice not to commit the act if you know it's going to cause bodily harm or potentially death.

They went to the hospital, and the wife of one showed up and told the Cops what really happened.

Two stupid idiots.  “Shoot me.” Bang. “Ow, that hurts.”  What did you expect?  An orgasm?  Dumb shit.

Hey, it was a .22LR! I'm pretty sure some people think if they consume enough alcohol getting shot with a .22 won't hurt even without a "bullet-proof" vest!
