Get ready

[last day on earth]

Okay, my plan seems to be decided. Unfortunately, I can't buy firearms; it's illegal in my country, but I have a plan. Since any other method scares me too much, the only option is to use a firearm, and I could go to a shooting range. A few years ago, I was struck by the story of a 22-year-old boy who decided to kill himself at the shooting range, and I think this idea could work. The idea of doing it in the company of others scares me terribly (because help could arrive immediately and save me, and that should NOT happen), but I also rationally consider the fact that a well-placed shot to the head is unlikely to result in death. Is it a plan that could work?

Don't involve others like that.

 

[AngelTear]

Do you mean likely to result in death?

I have seen videos of people killing themselves at shooting ranges
Most of the times they do it so fast no one else can react

But someone could be wise enough to tackle you before you could pull the trigger
Or worst case scenario you accidentally shoot someone who's trying to stop you...

That plan is not good.
You're doing it right in front of other people, which some of them even have to take responsibility for giving you a gun.
And theres a big chance you dont get it first try and hurt yourself or someone next to you.

If you can't be talked out of this plan, then please don't harm anyone at the range. And always aim into the mouth angled slightly up towards the brain stem. Never under the chin, as this will result in survival with catastrophic injuries.

You're going to deeply traumatise the people at that range. If you have any other options, choose one of them instead of this.

As others have already pointed out, I don't think it's a good idea because:

1. You're very likely to hurt someone else.
2. Others will be traumatised.
