The show hadn't even started yet. [Bang]

it wasn't a suicide...the gun did it.
Why would you go to a a gunshow to commit suicide?
vendors wife commits suicide outside of show ? sounds like she wanted to not only hurt him but his business and industry , thus making a selfish act even more so .
The investigation is still underway, I'm sure.
Perhaps the husband killed her and made it look like a suicide.
You just never l know.
Or maybe I have just seen too many of my wife's crime shows.
One of my biggest fears is I will come home from a trip to the range and find my wife dead and my hands will be covered with gun shot residue.
You've obviously never had to explain the presence of trace amounts of gun powder on your favorite backpack to the wonderful folks that work for TSA at airport security.
Helpful hint.... Don't travel with the same backpack you bring to gun shows and use to carry around gun powder and ammunition.
Just saying.
I keep a couple of bags far, far away just to go TDY.
I had my camera case and lens case test positive once and I've never even taken them to the range -- but they HAVE been in the trunk with my range bags. It was pretty quick and painless for me since the TSA employees could see pretty clearly that my SLR and lens were functional and NOT explosive containers but the only time I've ever pinged their sniffers.
Sad situation about this woman. There's plenty of help out there if a person will only seek it. Suicide in never a good solution. Very sad.
I don't want to sound insensitive, but are they sure it was a suicide and not a robbery? I mean after all, legislation has passed making obtaining firearms much more difficult. The media is only going to report what the authorities tell them...and personally I don't trust either!
+1
I hit the sniffer as well wearing the same shoes as shooting the day before
I'm sure this will result in a ban on wives at gun shows. :)
I just spoke to a friend/vendor at the show. There was an argument earlier between another vendor and his wife, witnessed by several regulars. Wife went to the truck, pulled out a .44mag, and blew her head off.
[edit] For the sake of clarity, argument was between husband and wife (vendors) at the show yesterday during setup.
True. Today you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Lots of compassion......???
why provide the anti's more fuel for the fire?
Some of these are embarrassing. The desire to own and enjoy firearms, need not over rule human decency.
Go ahead and flame away.
At least she only shot herself. Imagine the field day the anti-gun media would have had if she 1st went on a shooting spree before offing herself. Glad she was selfish and didn't share lead with others.
Mental health? Nothing to see here folks, move along.......
thats so sad suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem
its also probably the most selfish act you can commit as a human i feel bad for the husband who probably said some stupid shit in the heat of an argument that he will have to live with for the rest of his life
I have a couple of friends that opted out. It was an act of cowardice, and selfishness. They were not thinking of the mess they left behind, or the anguish that the family goes through. What I originally posted was mostly in jest, but partly serious. Unless you are terminal, in pain, and no quality of life suicide is the cowards way out.
"Just the cleaning cycle on the pool folks, move along... nothing to see here."
Sad thing, prayers for those affected.
