So...I shouldn't point my gun at my head? Or, just not at the range?

Not the first time a suicide was attempted in a local shooting range.

Yep
I think Ray's had a couple and I think after it became Bluegrass at least one more.
I remember Jack Tiford joking after the 2nd one at Ray's that Ray was going to put Dr Kvorkian out of business. He hated Ray

Wife had a old man commit suicide at their hospital over 10 years ago. He came in, walked to the public restroom, pulled out his revolver and shot himself in the head. I believe he had cancer.
I guess he knew the medical people would be easier to look at finding him than a family member....not so easy.

Was at Knob Creek in 1991 when a guy came in rented a 22 rifle and walked out to range and put barrel in his mouth.

I've seen my fair share of brains blown out of heads.
Scariest was the guy that did it in the division parking lot one evening in his car. Backed up into a parking spot and pulled the trigger.
Nobody even heard it. Only reason we found him was he wasn't in park and rolled partially out of the parking spot. Glad he wasn't postal.

Kid I grew up with had just had a kid of his own, walked into the basement of his girlfriend's house and splattered his brains across the basement. He was in his 20s....
