A sad reminder

Yes it is.

A long time ago, I had a friend that said he wanted to shoot trap with us.

Asked all sorts of questions about shotguns and shells for it.

Because he didn't have a lot of money, I told him to buy a single shot H&R 20ga.

He used that shotgun to blow his brains out the night he bought it.

At least the had the decency to not ask me to borrow one of my shotguns to kill himself.

When someone wants to go, there's nothing you can do, unless they ask for help.

Yes I agree, sadly many do not reach out for help. What I believe we can take away from this particular story is the importance of securing our guns from curious little hands.
