Question about gun

[ihatethisplanet]

The state I live in is strict, but from what I've read I think I'll be able to get a gun for protection since my husband will be moving out. Here's the thing - he told me years ago there's a certain way to aim it at yourself to make sure it's a lethal shot, but he won't tell me now because he's afraid I'll actually do it.

My research leads me to the same places - a million sites telling you to talk to someone about your suicidal feelings.

If I get a shotgun, where is the best place to aim it to actually do the job? Do you put it in your mouth? I have no experience with guns so I'm having trouble picturing trying to put a shotgun in my mouth and trying to reach the trigger.

Can anyone offer advice? I do have anxiety and depression but was never committed involuntarily so I think I'll be able to get one.

Thanks for reading.

I personally don't have many experiences with guns, but my dad, who is a hunter, told me once the best place to shoot is to put the gun in your mouth and aim it up. When you hold the gun just at the side of your head and pull the trigger, it will be very likely to miss the important part of the brain and you would survive. That can cause immense brain damage, and most people that survive it are mostly not able to move and sit in a wheelchair. I don't actually know if there is a safer method, but this is the safest one that I am personally aware of. And for that method you should probably use a small gun like a glock or something, then it will be easier for you, but of course it's also possible to use a shotgun. I hope you can find your peace soon!

I do not have much experience with guns but I'm pretty sure you could aim for the right temple if you're right-handed and the left temple if you're left-handed. You could also try aiming for the roof of the mouth. !! Shots to the front of the head may simply damage the cerebral cortex which may not be life-threatening.

Whatever seems easier. I wish you luck, I hope you find the peace you're looking for

A little birdy once told me, never do what they do in the movies. Gun to the side of the head leaves too much room for survival. In the mouth, 10 degree tilt upwards, goal is to obliterate the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, as well as sever the brain stem for immediate exit. 45acp most effective in semi automatic round. 44magum in revolver round. Shotgun, buckshot preferably. Quail and dove will be as effective though, with less recoil.

I'm just the messenger. I would never condone this type of behavior. Just sayin.

I have seen people shoot themseves and it's mostly through the mouth.

You can watch those videos on gore websites and maybe see how they do it and that is if you are 100 percent sure that you want to ctb.

All the best.

I would put it in mouth straight up then angle back a little. I will likely do this while standing in knee deep water in the ocean.

If you get a shotgun, the best place to "aim" it, if you will is to place the barrel into your mouth and blow out the entire back of your head, which will include the brain stem. Yes, it is difficult, or can be difficult, to reach the trigger on a long gun placed in this configuration, but many have done exactly that. You asked about the best place to place the gun, and the mouth is the best place to CTB with a shotgun. It's about as close to 100% guaranteed death as there is.
