BENTON COUNTY, AR (WMC via KNWA) - Two Arkansas men were arrested after taking turns shooting each other with a bulletproof vest on, according to an affidavit obtained by NBC affiliate KNWA. Charles Ferris, 50, and Christopher Hicks, 36, were charged with aggravated assault. Benton County Sheriff's deputies showed up at the hospital to talk to to Ferris, who told them a false story. Ferris told them he lied because he did not want to get Hicks in trouble, according to the affidavit. Ferris then told police he and Hicks had been drinking on the deck and he wanted Hicks to shoot him with the best on. After being shot, Hicks put the vest on, and Ferris "unloaded the clip into Hick's back," according to the police report. Luckily, the vest worked. No bullets penetrated it, but both men were left with minor injuries.

I'm not sure if I see a crime here. Yeah, they did something stupid and dangerous, but they were also both willing participants who didn't sustain major injuries.

Unless they have changed the law, in LA you can mutually consent to a “fistic encounter” and neither party can be charged when it is over. They wrote that into the law to keep the losing baw in a bar fight (in which both parties willingly engaged) from crying about it after. I don’t think you can consent to being shot. Vest or not.

aggravated assault on a willing person?

What kind of crap is that?

These guys are morons. Maybe I can see criminal mischief or unlawful use of a firearm. But come on, assault?

That calls to mind all the news stories of people trying to take prohibited items onto planes, saying they were "testing airport security."
