See it before they take it down.
Also listed on craigslist:
http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/bar/1045354808.html
From the listing:
'Here's the offer, I will wear a bullet proof vest with padding and let you shoot me in the chest with my 9mm for just about anything of high value.
This will be done under controlled conditions. I am not an idiot with a death wish.
So if you have a new/newer car, truck or suv. A house you no longer want but can't sell or a large amount of money and want to know what it feels like to shoot someone then let me know.
You may also bid on this on EBAY under the title "shoot me in the chest"
Be serious, no jokers or low baller's.'

Think times aren't tough?!

1. If he's trying to outdo the shop where you go in and break dishes for fun,
he'll have the not-so-environmentally-friendly nitwit beaten two to one.

And I'd hate to know if someone misfires...

2. Whoever this is is an idiot.
A desperate idiot, a cash strapped idiot, but an idiot none the less. Not to mention that this is quite probably illegal.

Hmmm, letting a total stranger take a shot at you, what could go wrong there?:eyes:

5. He says explicitly: 'no jokers...'
I'm not sure if it's illegal, though.

14. And that will prevent that quiet, mild mannered sociopath from blowing this guy's brains out how?
The guys an idiot who is taking his life into his own hands. Hopefully he has people around him that will pull him from off the edge on this one.

This certainly is illegal, at least in most states that I know of. Illegal to fire a gun in the direction of any human, willing or not.

3. At point blank range?
That sounds pretty whacked out. I mean, much is wrong with this, but that seems a little closer than safety would dictate.

7. It's a buyers market
I may only be able to afford one in the leg, though. Not sure I can swing a chest shot today.
