Went to Guam; enjoyed the beach, hiking, shooting range. The owner of the range was really jittery (and was making me nervous). After shooting there for quite a while, he started to loosen up and talk normally. Told me it happens from time to time, so he tries to watch carefully. "Ordered a day for 2, but only he showed up alone. Kind of quiet and introverted. Shot a couple of rounds before turning it on himself... These people think it is convenient out here away from peers. But we have to deal with it! I don't want me or my staff to ever have to see that! I try to watch for any clues on the drive over here. Just last week I told the guy, 'Sorry, we can't do it today.'"

Wow. I can't imagine having to deal with that. It's stellar of you to have told that guy no. You may have saved a life that day. My father and little brother both killed themselves with a gun. Not at the same time, but a few years apart. It's a heavy thing to deal with, that's for sure.
