Firstly, some ass-covering: I was born in Kentucky. Now the joke.
Q: What are the commonest last words of a redneck?
A: “HEY Y’ALL ! WATCH THIS !”
This happens occasionally. I always wonder why they didn’t hang the vest over a fence and shoot it a few times first. This is a lot like running your car into a wall at 100 miles an hour to try out the air bag.
Me, personally, I prefer not to have any firearms of any type, any caliber, pointed at me at any time.

Oooh- Rah! I follow my father’s example—never point a gun at anything you don’t intend to kill. I did not allow my kids to point toy guns at me—bad training for when they carry a real one.
I hope this 20 year old guy did not successfully reproduce before he was killed.
They were outside a liquor store. 1,000 bucks says the dude was totally wasted, and the guy who shot him. Anyway, why would you try that with a shotgun, seems like the pellets would have a pretty chance of getting you in the face and eyes even if it WAS a real bullet proof vest.
There was a Darwin Award awarded to some guy who was making a training video for police officers about bullet proof vests- he had a guy shoot him with a .22, a 9mm, a .357, and finally with a 5.56mm round from an AR-15: the rifle round penetrated the vest and killed him, just like the fool in the story here.
