Discussion Today I'm going to scope out the rifle store near me.

Up and down up and down. My life is the same cycle of a little bit of good followed by a whole lot of shit. I'm tired of it.

I have already tried taking my life once before and because of that failure I decided a bullet in the head is the way to go.

I have people who love me dearly and care about me that dont want to see me die. I love them so much.... I feel like this will ruin some of their lives.
WHY DO I HAVE TO CARE?! Well.. I won't have to if I'm dead.Then they can "figure it out" just as they told me to do!

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should tell the store owner so I don't look like a maniac or a suicidal person?
I was just going to say something along the lines of: "My husbands been begging me for a gun and I thought I'd surprise him on his birthday which will be November 12th."
Please...I need someone

I bought mine online and just went to the FFL dealer to do a transfer (along with filling out the 4473 form - firearms transaction record). As for the reason, I would just say that you are going into self-defense, or target shooting, and also try not to go into a lot of small talk, just get to the point and not mess around (the more you speak the more likely you are to talk yourself out of a firearm - e.g. raising suspicions or accidentally saying something that sets a 'red flag' off).

I would advise against your reasons as that could be construed as a straw purchase (meaning buying a gun for someone else, usually someone who isn't allowed to have one) and it would certainly raise a red flag. So instead, just use the common reasons of wanting to buy one for recreation and/or defense. Finally, if you can get a shotgun, then it is preferred because it is more lethal than a rifle itself, plus it is generally cheaper to get (I got a pump action shotgun for just a bit under $200 USD, as per the firearms megathread.)

Thank you so much for the advise. <3

Please reconsider and PM me if you needto talk. You dont sound convinced of this course of action and with no experience painful failure is highly possible.
