A South Carolina man died Wednesday morning after police say he asked one of his friends to fire a gun into a bulletproof vest he was wearing, Fox Carolina reported.

The death was classified a homicide. The bulletproof vest was about 10 years old and the weapon was called a small-caliber gun, The State reported.
Taylor Ann Kelly, 18, was reportedly charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting and can face five years in prison.

Idiots. I feel bad for the young girl, however she had a choice, and made the wrong one.
Darwin.
People are so stupid. Guns are for hunting and protection, not toys.
Have another drink brother, good gosh.
Hold on! The MORON wanted to be shot with the gun. Stupid is as stupid does. She should only be given a fine for being a lousy shot.
Did it not occur to them to simply shoot at the vest WITHOUT WEARING IT?
If the bullet pierces the vest - then you know it will not provide protection.
god I feel smart!
Put him on the list for a Darwin Award this year
Another thing is he could have died if the bullet did hit the vest. Just because it doesn't go through the vest doesn't mean that it wouldn't kill you. It's like getting hit in the chest with a baseball bat and that enough could cause a cardiac contusion causing the heart muscle to go into v-fib.
All of you are forgetting one thing...I forgot what it was,but when it comes to me I'll submit it.
