You know there was probably multiple fenceposts to hang the vest on in order to test it.

Darwin is smiling down on these two.

Unless they press charges on each other, ummmm there is no crime here, unless it is one of those laws where you can't fire a gun in city limits or something...

I don't see the problem here. Either nothing happens or the situation cures itself.
