Oh, BTW. Most of the folks around here that kill themselves by gun do so with a shotgun. Does away with the “you have to hit the brain stem” nonsense and such. Makes a helluva mess tho. Just plain ole birdshot does a great job from 2 inches. Friend of mine off’ed himself inside the family motorhome. Took 2 cleaning ladies 2 full days to clean up most of the mess. And they still didn’t get the pieces of brain out of the vents to the AC. It is hard to find good help these days.....
“Does away with the ‘you have to hit the brain stem nonsense”
For the record I wouldn’t say you *have* to hit the brain stem. That’s merely the best way for it to be instant and painless. Shotgun wounds to the melon are survivable, by the way. Jumping from a sufficient height onto a proper surface is more foolproof, except that it’s possible for something beyond your control to intervene. Like I said, I’d go with C-4, which if it goes wrong can’t really go wrong in a way that leaves you alive and in pain. If it ignites it blows you up, period, and there’s no way you feel it.
