https://wreg.com/news/arkansas-men-arrested-for-shooting-each-other-while-wearing-bulletproof-vest/

Basically:
  • Charles Eugene Ferris (50) and Christopher Hicks (36) were on their back porch drinking. They came up with the idea to take turns shooting each other while wearing a bulletproof vest.
  • Ferris put on the bulletproof vest first and told Hicks to shoot him.
  • The vest stopped the bullet, but Ferris got mad because it hurt.
  • Hicks put on the bulletproof vest next and then Ferris shot him 5 times.
  • They both only suffered bruises, but Ferris' wife told him to go to the hospital.
  • The hospital had to report this to police. They initially made up a lie to tell the police, but Ferris' wife got to the hospital a short time later and told investigators the real story.


Wow

Honestly the only way this could have been more Arkansas was if they insisted on not wearing the vest.

The fact they wore a bulletproof vest was what kept this from being a Florida man story.

I would understand charges for reckless use of a firearm or depending on where they were public nuisance or endangerment but I don't get the assault charges? What makes this different in the eyes of the law than any other the numerous dangerous activities people do voluntarily.

They actually could have been more safer. Wanna know how? By not SHOOTING each other.
