I have same thoughts and that is why firearms ctb is also my last resort method since every person have different shaped ears and head, but with hollow point bullets there should be larger wound. Maybe you should also do it in bathtub so if you fail to hit brainstem your shot will knock you off anyway and you will drown while unconscionsness. Maybe also consider buying more powerful weapon than glock.Damn, I would be so afraid of messing that up!

Thats too bad. Rather dont risk and buy JHP bullets instead. That glock you have is 9mm? This is my "last resort".I'm afraid to fill out a form 4473 because I went to the ER for phenibut withdrawal last summer. Now that that information is out there, I don't want to run the risk of getting denied on it and then having a knock on the door sometime after. The anticipation would be brutal and I'm already super stressed out as it is.

Hello dear friends, I have a question:
I have bought Revolver RUGER KSP 321x (SP101) - 357 magnum. Short barrel. I also have hollow point bullets (from Geco). I know where to shoot myself to hit brainstem but I am still considering if wouldnt be better to buy more powerful gun. Like 44. mag or casull. Do you think larger calliber weapon is more leathal considering recoil? Some people say recoil wont effect your aim because it happens after the bullet leave barrel.
I also to make sure ctb will be succesfull I could shoot myself in the bathtub so if i wont hit brainstem, I will drown.
What do you think?
Cheers
So what's the most generous shotgun + ammo combo I can get in terms of margin of error for aiming (inside the mouth obviously)? I read most of the thread but a lot of terms confuse me and I'm bad at retaining information.
When it comes to shotguns, the bigger the number, the smaller the bore (size of the hole the bullet comes out of). So a 20 gauge is smaller than a 12 gauge and 12 is smaller than a 10 gauge.
When it comes to shells there is lots of different ones but the most common are Birdshot, Buckshot, and Slugs.
Birdshot is for, well killing birds. They are a filled with lead/steel pellets. They disperse quickly making them less lethal the further the target/bird is away. As for a the size of the pellets it goes kinda like the bore of the shotgun. The higher the number birdshot, the smaller the pellets will be and the lower number the pellets will be bigger. Something to note is that the smaller the pellets in the birdshot, the greater number of pellets will be in the actual hull of the shell.
Buckshot is kind of similar to bird shot but it contains much larger lead/steel balls in them. They are more powerful and will go further than birdshot, they are typically used for later animals.
Slugs are a type of round that has a single large lead/steel "Bullet" inside of them. You'll find called different names but usually it just refers to the shape of the actual slug inside of the hull. Slug are heavy hitters, used for larger animals like deer, bores and other big fellas.
This is my question as well. I'm no expert but I've been researching this in my spare time for the past couple weeks- 10ga is def a safer bet than 12ga, but 12ga is still plenty of gun to blow yer brains out. I'm leaning more towards 12ga only for the price- looking at one at my local Walmart that is <$300.Thanks for the info. So then do I want slugs or buckshot? And would that mean a 10 gauge is more ideal than a 12 gauge?
Technically yes, as a 10 gauge is a larger caliber.Thanks for the info. So then do I want slugs or buckshot? And would that mean a 10 gauge is more ideal than a 12 gauge?
Both of those will do incredible damage but you got to remember because the end of the gun will be so close to the target, you'll most likely have the same results as the entire inners (slug/bbs, wad, and gases) will be coming out at great speeds and force and don't have time to spread.This is my question as well.

As far as 00 buck vs slug, at such a short range it SEEMS like they'd do about the same amount of damage (basing this on videos I've seen of folks shooting anything from pumpkins to ballistic gel) however I'd like to err on the side of caution here, which is why I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable can help me out.
Recently a buddy of mine (American) told me told me that his friend went to buy a gun for the first time - no felonies, clean record, nothing that would disqualify him - but he got delayed a few days on the BG check because the NICS system was just backlogged. I've seen similar stories on Reddit of people being arbitrarily delayed simply because of backlogs or having a similar name to someone who's ineligible. Have you ever heard of this happening? And if so, is this something I should be worried about?They are completed when you come to pick up your gun from an FFL. If the BG check is successful and it proceeds, then you can usually pick it up on the same day (varies from state to state as some have a waiting period - but as far as federal law is concerned, there is no federal law requiring a waiting period, only state law). Also, if you fail a BG check, then you cannot pick it up and I believe it would be between the FFL and you on getting a refund of your purchase after fees and what not are covered (shipping back to whichever company you ordered from). Hope this answers your question and also IANAL so this isn't legal advice.
1 more question: If I go to a store to purchase physically (without ordering online), do they require payment ahead of the NICS BG check, or can I wait for the BG check before I have to pay? (In case the BG check takes forever)You would go to the FFL that you sent your firearm to. You would do the BG check when you go there to pick it up (not before). If you pass (which most of the time you should unless you have a disqualifying factor such as a serious conviction, under indictment of a serious crime, have an active restraining order against you, adjudicated mentally defective/involuntarily committed, etc.), you get it on the same day as you walk out the store.
It is certainly possible, depending on the time of day and when you decide to go through a BG check since a lot of people are buying firearms during this period (pandemic, unrest, and election year, etc.).Recently a buddy of mine (American) told me told me that his friend went to buy a gun for the first time - no felonies, clean record, nothing that would disqualify him - but he got delayed a few days on the BG check because the NICS system was just backlogged.

I don't think you pay until you go through the background check (and successfully pass it). You have 30 calendar days from when the NICS check is initiated, so for example, if you pass a background check on say, October 20th, then the check is valid until November 19th.1 more question: If I go to a store to purchase physically (without ordering online), do they require payment ahead of the NICS BG check, or can I wait for the BG check before I have to pay?

Thanks man. I'm assuming online sales are the exception to your 2nd point, since you pay online before the check is complete.It is certainly possible, depending on the time of day and when you decide to go through a BG check since a lot of people are buying firearms during this period (pandemic, unrest, and election year, etc.).

@Depressedbitch2020 I don't know, and IANAL, but that is a very serious crime (lying on a government form, Form 4473 to be exact) which carries very stiff penalties (six figures in fines, up to 5 years in prison, etc.). Therefore, I would NOT recommend lying on the form in any circumstance.
I'm no gun expert or lawyer, but I can back up what TAW said. NEVER lie on your BG check. That's perjury and can land you in jail.On the paper you have to fill out for the background check if you have been hospitalized but check that you haven't on the paper, will they see the hospital stay on the background check?
Just to clarify, if for example I walked into Academy and picked out a shotgun, would I have to make an actual transaction that day, or could I wait until the BG check comes back with "proceed"?I don't think you pay until you go through the background check (and successfully pass it).

I have never purchased from a major retailer or big-box retailers before so I can't really answer accurately. However, based on my understanding, you would pick out the firearm of your choice, then you would be directed to fill out a Form 4473 and they would do the background check. If it passes, you can then take the firearm home same day (varies from state to state as some states have waiting periods). Also, sometimes in big-box retailers, if there is a delay but later comes to "proceed" they may likely not sell you the firearm as per store/corporate policy.Just to clarify, if for example I walked into Academy and picked out a shotgun, would I have to make an actual transaction that day, or could I wait until the BG check comes back with "proceed"?
Thanks for the response. I know my question was a bit sciency and confusing. I tried searching on here but found nothing about if the brain stem is shot would that keep the N from working or would the N still go through arteries and shut down body? Basically does brain stem shut everything down and no blood can enter brain? if I was to shoot correctly then it's no issue but if I miss I still want the N to take me out.To answer your question, combining methods itself is not really recommended by most simply because it complicates things and allows more room for error. Both N and the firearm are very, very reliable methods, with the former being much more peaceful than the latter. It depends on where you hit if you flinch and miss. If you hit the frontal lobe and don't bleed out, then there is a possibility of survival and ending up in a vegetative state (which is a fate even worse than death). Also, as for N, it will take time for it to work as it gets absorbed through the body and for the drug to take effect, so for the specifics on that one, I can't really fully answer it (maybe someone else might).
I'm not sure if you are an US citizen or not, but based on your posts, I assume you are a legal resident of the US (unless I'm wrong). In the last sentence, I think there would certainly be many red flags and while I'm not familiar with all Canadian laws with regards to firearms possession in that country, I do know that crossing the border with firearms (unless authorized or under special circumstances with the right authorization, permissions, etc.) is not likely to go well. Finally, with Canadian gun laws, they are MUCH stricter and restrictive than the US.Sixteen months ago I bought a pistol at a small, privately owned gun shop in a US state where restrictions are minimal.. The background check took about 15 minutes, was done while I waited.
Four months ago, I bought a second pistol at the same shop. The BG check took three days. I paid for the gun up front because I didn't want there to be any problem, like maybe it may be sold to someone else?
A month ago, I bought a third one, at a different privately owned store, same state. The BG check took four hours. Again, I paid for it up front.
I have never been in trouble with the law except for a couple of speeding tickets. I have never been diagnosed or treated for a mental illness, alcohol or drug abuse. I know what not to say to health care providers so did not need to lie on the form. Would I lie if necessary? I don't know. Maybe.
As for a Canadian crossing over to the US to buy a gun, how difficult would it be to cross back into Canada with it?
