I'm hoping this is my goodbye post. I finally had my breaking point.

[taker_of_insulin]

I'm sitting in the park parking lot. I picked up some food. It's pouring down rain. I've got a 357 magnum in my front seat. I'm going to eat the food and then leave.

I'm done. I just keep getting hit after hit in life. I no longer care anymore. I'm done.

I was hoping to be able to write a letter or put my affairs in order. But things didn't work out that way.

What is your last meal?

you sure you can't type something up on your phone as you eat? maybe it'd leave you feeling a bit more satisfied....? also, don't feel pressured to die right now. only go when you're truly ready to
anyhow, safe travels!!!

Wishing you peace in all ways right now.

Hope you're no longer in pain or wish you eventually find peace if you reconsidered.

I hope you find the freedom you search for.

I'm still here unfortunately. I chickened out and my father came to find me in the park. He took the gun.

The gun is 40 years old. I tried to see if it even worked. It took 6 pulls before it fired. It was so loud. I no longer have the gun. But I did put the gun against my head and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. That's when I kept pulling the hammer back and pulling the trigger until it went off.

The gun didn't work properly. It's 40 years old. I pulled the hammer back and pulled the trigger and nothing happened. I then kept pulling the hammer and trigger until something happened and it finally went off after the 6th try.

My father came and found me in the park and took the gun unfortunately. I guess I need to find a more reliable way to go out

What is your last meal?

It was supposed to be Wendy's. But I cocked the gun and pulled the trigger and nothing happened. It's a very old gun. On the way back to my car I kept cocking and pulling the trigger. It toon 6 pulls until it went off. And my father has now taken the gun because I sent him a goodbye text.

THIS right here is EXACTLY why I said to you what I did in the other thread. AND why I do not believe anyone here "owes" anyone else their knowledge about a certain method. Am I grateful for the folks who shared their knowledge about different methods?? Of course. What I have NEVER done is felt like I was owed that information.

On to your comments -- several things:

1. "40 years old" is not that old in gun years. In fact, that gun is still a baby.

2. "I cocked the gun and pulled the trigger and nothing happened." Let me guess -- several things come to mind -- first, did you even check to see of the gun was loaded?? I'm gonna go with "No" because you also said this -- "It toon (sic) 6 pulls until it went off." Let me guess -- the gun is a revolver and has 6 chambers in the barrel. There was a bullet in the last chamber. The gun worked exactly like it was designed to -- you pulled the trigger on an empty chamber the first 5 times you pulled the trigger. The last chamber was the only chamber that had a round in it. That is why the 6th time you pulled the trigger the gun went off. And ... Where did that bullet go?? It went somewhere. I hope you didn't get some innocent person injured. Or someone else's property damaged.

I understand wanting to leave this world. I do not understand needlessly risking harm to others while I am in the process of "moving on".

Edited to add: Sure enough. I scrolled up to your first post and yep. A revolver.

Surely, he properly loaded the weapon. Right? Would love to hear from them about this, but you may be right.

Anyway we need more gun discussion on this forum. I think we don't because the method is tried and true (if properly loaded that is)

It looks like a ruger blackhawk 357 to me, which holds 6 rounds in the cylinder. It's hard to tell, but it looks like there might be at least one round in a chamber. You can kinda see what looks like a brass rim slightly sticking out on the right side of the cylinder, however the chambers above and below it look empty though.

To be fair, light primer strikes do happen, but they're pretty unlikely. So if all six chambers were loaded and every single one was a light primer strike before it finally went off on the 7th try, that would be extremely unlucky, borderline impossible. And that's ignoring the possibility that there might've only been one round in the cylinder to begin with, which would make it physically impossible for it to go off on the 7th try. Plus there's also the question of where the supposedly fired round went.
