Help SN or Gun?

[feelingtrapped]

Any thoughts? I don't Own a gun but live in the US so should be able to get one if I travel
A bit. Never have used one though. Can't imagine would be too tricky to learn though.

SN is ordered but I still need to access the other items.

That entirely depends on if you're okay with leaving behind a mess.

CTB by firearm is generally going to be much less peaceful as well.

I think that if someone can access both then it's a personal preference. If I had both I would personally go with SN, it sounds less brutal, SN is a reliable poison if done correctly, but after all only you can decide.

I don't want to traumatize anyone if I can avoid. But failing seems more terrible and traumatizing . I've read so many SN posts but I don't really have a sense of the likelihood of success. Does anyone have thoughts?

Depends on what kind of gun you would use. You can find some threads on them, I can drop come links also if needed. I have seen more peoples posts though where they have had success with SN rather than guns/firearms. Since you already have the sn though, I think you can get the other items reasonably easy. https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/sn-megathread.1156/

SN is overrated imo. The whole process requires too many prescription drugs to do properly and takes too long, leaving too much room for anxiety, panic and discomfort as you feel the urge to vommit and have a heart attack for the next hour. And even with all that there's too big a chance for failure.

Guns are obviously the quickest and least painful method. The only tribulation is getting over the nerve to actually put a violent weapon in your mouth and pull the trigger. If you've ever fired a gun before, you know that its not like what you see in movies or tv. Even small handguns are EXTREMELY LOUD and physically explosive. It sounds and feels like a bomb going off in your hand. It takes some courage to do.

Why do you think it's less peaceful, I thought it's instant if done correctly

While instant, I'd presume it would be really stressful to muster up the courage to pull a literal trigger.
That's just my view on it is all.

Gun if you have access to one. messy, yes. But, a proper placed head shot with the right hollow point will do it effectively. By the time you pull the trigger your brain won't even register the sound of the gun. Instant oblivion. Then eternal peace.

If I had access to firearms I think it would be my method. Would find myself somewhere remote away from urban areas and do the deed. Aimed properly it would be very quick at least.

Guns are too scary imo... and I prefer to go looking like I died naturally.

SN. Guns leave a mess behind, there's a chance of misfiring and ending up maimed yet still alive, and shooting yourself in the face is much harder to overcome than drinking a mixture. You don't need an AE for blowing your head off though, so theres that. But the preparation is worth it if you don't need to die immediately. Both are fine though, firearms moreso if you manage to do it in the woods or something.

If I had access to a gun that would certainly be my choice.
