[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 1856990, member: 13718"] I had a good friend who I used to shoot with quite often. He had a bad run of luck, had to sell all of his guns to pay for expenses, but never seemed overly down about the fact he was having to start over. We'd still go shoot, or I'd loan him some of mine and he'd go out to his parents land for the weekend. One day, he stopped by and asked to borrow a gun of mine, which I did, as I'd done many times before, and he went home and shot himself. Family found him a couple of days later and told me. Police asked me a number of questions about when and under what circumstances I loaned it to him, held onto the gun until it was ruled a suicide, and then returned the gun to me. Looking back, I probably should have paid a bit more attention to warning signs, but the thought that he would commit suicide never crossed my mind. I think about it a lot. I still have that gun. I shoot it occasionally, mostly it just sits in the safe. [/QUOTE]
