Would you ctb right now if you had a gun?

[darkghost]

Yes

 

[Mysterygirl2018]

In some cases yes but id want to do it in the woods. I dont want my parents or friends to find me. I also want to leave letters. I lost someone close to suicide and not having a goodbye or something said to me really hurt. I want how I feel about people to be written so its easier to grieve and move on.

 

[InterstateFlowers]

Nope. I think if I shot myself, it would affect my family way harder than hanging or poison because of how brutal it is. It definitely wouldn't be open casket and with cleaner methods open casket is an option so the funeral people just need to dab some color on me and I'll look presentable.

 

[Donewiyhitall]

Unless I have been severely miscotted I do believe the United States is at 2.4 or 2.3 possibly even 2.2 but that was always my understanding am I incorrect?

*Misguided

Yep, that. But am I?

 

[kappa098]

One bullet. Just to end it all. How I wish I had one.

I'd probably buy a hotel room first and then do it.

 

[Metalhead]

Without any shadow of a doubt.......

 

[Sprite_Geist]

If it is a firearm that gives a high chance of death then yes.

 

[Bauhaus]

A bullet through the head would be my ideal ctb.
It's fast & painless, no preparation needed and you can do it whenever and where ever you want.
Would I do it immediately ? I don't know, but I prolly would do it suddenly, in an impulsive moment.

 

[Meditation guide]

I resist any type of gory ending.

 

[Cant Maintain]

no, I'd be worried about harming someones child nearby if the bullet goes through my head and into the house nearby or someone who genuinely wants to live. This is what stopped me prior times, but now i no longer have a gun.

 

[Nephthys22]

No, I have one, the clean up is a bit too much for my liking. SN is my preferred method, partial hanging is a close backup just because I feel there is a bit of a loss of control when it comes to SN.

 

[MariV]

why so many of you prefer gunshot to SN?

 

[happiestman]

Not right now. but really wish keep this handy. bcos I feel this is one of the best methods for ctb considering don't need much preparation/planning unlike SN or CO.

 

[TooConscious]

I don't usually comment on these threads but I remember when I was 14 my first suicidal thought was if there was a gun in the middle of the floor I'd put it to my temple and end it all. Then before 16 I'd realised it's not that simple to kys with a gun and also considered if I could gain the confidence to make connections to have access to a gun so I could ctb. But I'm in the UK and no doubt I would get jailed if I was ever lucky enough to get my hands on one, literally as soon as it would be handed over a tactical unit would smash through the windows

why so many of you prefer gunshot to SN?

It is far to difficult to source...
Me saying this alone would mean I'd get several messages people offering SN personally. 90% are scumbag scammers.
There was that case of the guy who used his own urine in vials and sold it to people, even though I'm pretty sure SN is supposed to be made from a powder and used straight away he was selling it as ready mixed solution, obviously getting off on being horrible.
He got a suspended sentence. He's living happy why his victims who drank his piss are either dead or still suffering from what he did.

Can anyone please link the story I can't find it? The fact he lives proves there's no value whatsoever here. In a just world he'd be strung up for a drawn out execution.

 

[voyager]

why so many of you prefer gunshot to SN?

For me it's mainly because it's an instant and extremely reliable method when done right (I'd combine it with falling into a noose). I like the fact that I could prepare for the moment at my own pace and without any sort of regime to live up to, nor would my last thoughts be clouded by poison, physical pain or possible panic, but instead what I want to think about and doing what I want.

 

[TAW122]

I have a gun/firearm and while I could just immediately CTB on a whim, the simple answer is no, I wouldn't just CTB immediately if I owned one even though I had the capability to do so. Having a gun does bring me some comfort and a bit of peace of mind because I know I can always exit on a whim at my choosing and that I'm only ever around because I decide to hang on a bit longer. I would only CTB when I'm ready and the time and circumstances are 'right' for me.

 

[Lilacmoon]

Is that a dare? This very moment? Yes, yes, please. Gimme :(

 

[Chupacabra 44]

I used to think the answer was "yes" . Now I don't know anymore. It seems sometimes just knowing the imminent "out" is at hand (no pun intended) is powerfully cathartic; and, this purge is particularly cleansing, at least this is my perspective.

 

[TripleA]

Yes

 

[k75]

No. I'm suicidal and depressed, but I'm also terrified of being shot. Guns truly scare the shit out of me, and I can't think of a single instance where I'd willingly resort to that. I don't even think I could handle one that was unloaded. An old boyfriend shot himself, and I can't fathom how. Makes my brain feel like breaking.

 

[AquaSkye7]

As in now, now? Well, I'd need a few days, or at least a day to prepare. Say my goodbyes, sort out the most essential affairs, go to the right spot, prepare my rope, and time allowing, have a few drinks and dwell a bit while watching my favourite film. But then, yeah, I'd think so.

Don't say goodbye. Just leave a letter. Saying "goodbye" has been where I failed many times.

Words can't describe how quick I would pull the trigger.

Can you tell me what you think to overcome SI and pull the trigger? I, too, thought it would be a quick pull but I can't find the courage.

 

[little helpers]

YES. best thing I can ever dream of.

needle exchanges are not enough…we need a ctb-only LETHAL WEAPON EXCHANGE!! run it like the secret santa stuff on Reddit and now you have a gun that's freed so many from the tortures of life…SACRED.

**to the feds reading this, this is all work of fiction and if anything happened like this irl, it's through your or your colleague's hand that countless BIPOC, disabled individuals have been "freed" from more policing and racism-ableism**

just curious, how many of y'all are not allowed to own guns at this point?

 

[yive]

yes, gun would solve all my current problems immediately

 

[fatefulstillness]

No, I have a deep aversion to this method. I wouldn't touch it even if I had it in front of me and no one was around. I trust myself more with hanging.

 

[Ligottian]

I live in the US and have owned legal firearms for years. But I guess I'd have to answer your question no, at least for "today". Ironically, I believe having access to a pretty reliable and painless method has kept me alive for so long.

 

[nowayout*]

I have access to alot of guns and still can't bring myself to use one. scared of if i would fail what would happen.

 

[steviewonder]

Absolutely. No question

 

[Its like that]

Yes, i would. I like the idea of falling in a nuce for backup. Well thought out!

 

[FuneralCry]

I would be afraid of it going wrong somehow. I do not want to exit this world in a violent way, I deserve a peaceful exit.
