True. Maybe it is a little surprising but shooting yourself is a bad way to commit suicide. First it typically leaves a terrible mess which might be why some guys do it. But you would not believe the number of people who end up just blowing off part of their face or head, paralyzing themselves, or causing very painful internal injuries that either take an extended period to die from or just leave people very messed up.
Over the years I went to several people who were trying to blow their heads off with a shotgun and ended up blowing off their faces. What a mess! If you have to use your toe to pull the trigger...just don't. It is stupid.
Women often take a bunch of pills and then call someone. In that case they are typically looking for attention, but many end up dying anyway. Sometimes the survivors end up with organ damage or brain damage. Just as stupid but in a different way.
“If you have to use your toe to pull the trigger...just don’t.”
Long story but decades ago I saw a beautiful woman who did that with a shotgun in the mouth. There was no ambiguity in the result.
In another case, a man up the street shot himself twice in the abdomen...with a pump shotgun.
