The guy used a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

very sad for the people that have to deal with the poor choices of others.

Stick around Harry, you'll soon understand we don't think he's a dick because he offed himself. But because HE did it in a publc place, HE could have easily injured someone else, HE tramatized everyone who witnessed it, or works there. Leaveing the owners to clean up HIS mess, And heaven forbid possibly closeing the shop because of HIM

The decision to end ones own life is the most deeply personal one there is. Just don't put innocent people at risk when you do. More than once I've had to deal with people who suicided in places or in a manner that put me and my team members at risk.

I believe it is personal but also very selfish.
Putting your team at risk also shows little concern for anything else.

Was his name Pat/Patrick?

Yes

 

[AmmoManAaron]

Would I at least get a good video that includes audio ??
I'm waffling on a decision, a video would be a game changer...

Also, why is the Hoff back? I thought INGO voted to exile him?

Ahhhh.. That was the public pole... The private pole voted different...

 

[bocefus78]

Hoff's private pole?

Oh....spelling where art thou?

Is it live ? Or is it Memorex ?

Prayers for all those left behind. I just want to explain the man that took his own life was Ill. He was as Ill as someone with Cancer, Heart Disease, COPD etc. A good friend of mine ended his life this way, speaking at his Funeral was one of the hardest tasks I've ever faced. My older brother did the same thing, he didn't use a Gun. I Pray Suicide never touched your lives.

Suicide has "touched the lives" of many of us, including some of us who reserve our sympathy for the people who were victimized by the person who committed suicide. Some of have had suicide "touch our lives" multiple times. No, the people who deserve sympathy are the people left behind and in this case, the innocents who had this shameful act of passive-aggression forced upon them by an incredibly selfish individual.

Guy I worked with recently retired. Committed sideways a few months later. Had PTSD from multiple deployments to the sandbox. Sought treatment from the VA, but got the bureaucratic runaround. For a while, he acted happy and cheerful, and we thought he was doing better. It was just a cover-up to hide his rage. Sucks for his family and friends.

Thanks, you're nicer than me Sir.

I hope Highsmiths will be OK after this. Ive been in there a few times and the people who work there are great. Very helpful and friendly. I wish people would think about how their actions affect others. Ill be back spending some money as soon as they reopen.

Pretty much what I wanted to say. My thoughts and prayers for his family, and the staff and customers at the range when it happened.

 

[Dirtebiker]

There goes gun rentals.

Shouldn't change anything. We can't stop all idiots!

 

[drop45]

I don't agree with suicide, but shame on the people here casting judgement on a stranger and calling them names. In today's world that could very well be one of your kids or family one day...

Harry Harry Harry, he blew his nose on someone else's sleeve, Dick move by a dick. Get over it.
