Katlaughing,

I am a peace-loving man, but up close and personal or far away, if somebody posed a lethal threat to my family or myself I would kill them with my bare hands, if it came to that.

If someone is going to take their own life, the lack of a gun won't stop them for a moment. My brother commited a very thought-out and deliberate suicide (without a fire arm)and lingered in a hospital bed for 36 hours before a merciful death came.

FWIW
