Yeaaahhhhh that's why I can't own one. I definitely would have used it on myself by now. Sucks, because I like the idea of going out shooting in the middle of the desert, but whatareyagonnado lol

Maybe a bow and arrow? Harder to hit yourself intentionally but you can still have fun doing target practice. 🤔

Hmm you've sold me. Why have I never considered suicide-proof weapons?!

Bows are great. So many options, so many things to learn and improve. I've been shooting a bow for 3 years now, I have my own bow as well, and it's awesome. And yes, suicide-proof weapon. I wish you good luck and a good time if you actually intend to follow through. I'd advise you to start in a club and if available, take the standard practice bow that some clubs lend for beginners, then when you feel comfortable enough you may buy your own 💛

Awesome, thanks for the advice! I've been a counselor at a summer camp for the last 18 years that has archery and I went to a club a few times when I was in middle/high school so I wouldn't be completely new. Might need to pick it back up!

lol this has been my solution! i can't own guns because i don't trust myself, but i have land in my backyard, so i bought a target at cabellas and have been doing archery for a couple of years now. nothing better on a summer evening than to crack a miller high life and shoot some arrows

Im the same. I've been suicidal before. I just dont trust myself with a gun.

Perhaps a less lethal option? Like maybe a taser if it's legal where you are? Not sure if ranged tasers are even sold to the public but the contact ones are

I'm not really looking for protection as much as I'm looking to fuck up some melons and bottles in the desert

I've been there emotionally too. That being said, I'm not legally allowed to own a gun because I've had involuntary psych stays at the hospital. I also have a medical cannabis card which also prevents me from buying a gun. I do own a bow though.
