(40,703 posts)A real bullet hole. We bought it from a guy who'd lived in rougher neighborhoods than we ever did.
Guns are very effective suicide tools.
Years ago, when I was still an off-my-meds-creature of the chaos, my girlfriend's girlfriend who'd already drank enough booze and taken enough pills to drop an elephant, tried to kill herself in my bathtub by cutting herself. Lots of cuts. Deep cuts. Yet she survived.
My childhood friend who shot himself in the head did not.
My sister is a firefighter and a paramedic. She sees things.
My youngest brother wanted to do the same as his big sister and ended up with the first responders to a murder-suicide by gun. But the guy with the hole in his head and the gun in his hand was still breathing and he "lived" for almost two days in intensive care.
My little brother decide that wasn't the career he wanted.
I don't live in your world, "bro."
