Bounce back

Have ya'll ever had a bullet "bounce back" at you?
Me & my buddy Ken were out today shooting at cans and such and he shot ata old Ford hub cap with a .32 revolver he'd chromed when he worked at the metal plating place. We were too close and I told him not to but he did anyway and it came right back at him. Could have done bodily harm. And a few years back a sheriff buddy (if they are your friends its easier to know where they are <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ) picked up a 1/2" thick piece of plexiglass and decided he wanted to use it as a clipboard and hold it in front of him during traffic stops for protection. Decided to test it. Stood back about 15 yds and shot it with a hot .38
and it bounced back so hard it hit him in the chest and raised up an egg sized knot, really made him mad. Is there a rule on this?
