Well they can't put you in jail when you have a hole in your head.

considering I survive of course

There's no specific laws against it but the police can arrest you for threatening your own life and a judge can rule that you're mentally incapitated and order you to involuntary attend an in-patient psyciatrict hospital, like all other suicide attempts.

Suicide is actually against the law and your family gets fined for it. It causes a lot of trouble with landlords and if it occurs in public and such.

It's very unlikely that you manage to shoot yourself while playing rr. The bullet generally spins down.

So the main issue is the suicide thing?

Let's say me and my buddies decide to play a round of Russian Roulette and one of us dies.
Will the rest of us get in trouble or only the one who lost because suicide is illegal?
>>

>>1982300

>In a 1946 U.S. legal case, Commonwealth v. Malone, 47 A.2d 445 (1946), a Pennsylvania teenager's conviction for murder in the second degree as a result of shooting a friend during a game of Russian roulette, was upheld by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The court ruled that "When an individual commits an act of gross recklessness without regard to the probability that death to another is likely to result, that individual exhibits the state of mind required to uphold a conviction of manslaughter even if the individual did not intend for death to ensue."[4] However, in the Malone case the teenagers involved played a modified version of Russian roulette, called Russian poker, in which they took turns aiming and pulling the trigger of the revolver at each other, rather than at their own heads. It has not yet been established whether simply participating in a game of Russian roulette in which another participant kills himself by his own hand would constitute manslaughter or some lesser form of conspiracy or homicide.
