I think you're right, but it's possible theres some kind of regulation against shooting another person, even voluntarily. Them both being drunk under their own volition wouldn't enter into it. It would be Mona Lisa Perez, that lady who shot her boyfriend through a book for a YouTube stunt and killed him. She got 6 months for manslaughter.

Yeah and because they were drunk they couldnt really legally gave consent too.

I was saying this elsewhere in the thread, but I don't even think that matters in this case, consent. Them consenting to shooting each other, drunk or not, wouldn't save either of them from a manslaughter charge. Imo, being drunk in this case would make their stupid decision worse. Doing this without consent would just be plain ol' attempted murder on one of their parts.

Like, consenting to a crime makes you culpable, and you can totally do that while drunk and get charged. Except for sex, where the rules about consent are different.
