I have an accaintance who had a family member try to end her life with a .38 revolver. She is still seriously messed up, in the hospital. However, she failed in her her ultimate goal. Makes you think about priorities.
The bullet didn't lodge in her skull but fell out on the operatiing room table. She hit herself on the right side and likely will be paralyzed somewhat on her left side. Seems to me life is hard enough as it is.
My question is this, does a .38 not have enough Uumph to kill oneself with? I have heard about them bouncing off of car windows when LEO's used them in certain cases. Perhaps it was the trajectory. I'm guessing she really didn't take the time to do it right, whatever that means. I remember a couple of years back when a teacher in FLA got shot with a .32 and was gone before he hit the floor. All I know is that I wouldn't want to get hit with a .22.
My prayers are with her and her family. What a terrrible thing for all involved.
