[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 3650362, member: 13718"] I have a gun used in a suicide. On one hand, I would not tell because I don't want it sold for some ghoulish interest. There are people who collect suicide and crime guns, others who feel a thrill at the association of it. It just seems disrespectful to the dead and their family. It seems the people who learn of a suicide gun either shy away, in which case they wouldn't buy it, or figure it is just a tool, in which case it doesn't matter if they know or not, and finally, those would buy happy to buy one based on it's history, but I don't care to encourage someone's morbid curiosity. On the other hand, I have friends who would react badly if they knew a suicide gun was in their house. What they don't know won't hurt them, but at the same time if I wouldn't feel great about selling them something that I know they would have an aversion to. Properties with stigmas are a real thing in certain places, requiring by law disclosure. I can understand someone being repulsed by it and to sell it to them without the disclosure also seems a bit underhanded and disrespectful to the potential buyer. So I don't have an answer. Mine sits in the safe, I shoot it occasionally. [/QUOTE]
