    I would say if they didnt killed themselves in private area i would guess it would be “legal” but in the moment someone dies its murder and thats then illegal. But i am no legal expert so i could be wrong.

      Are you suggesting the legal argument ad quod damnum: that it was, in legal fact, all fun and games until someone got hurt?

      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.
