    Sounds like the guy and his family were an effen train wreck to begin with.

    It's your thread bro, I figured you would've read the article. Lol. But here's the important part:
    "I wonder what exactly happened back in 1997 when Richard shot himself in the face. In an e-book version of the story, Richard says he was blindingly drunk, had come home and become verbally abusive with his mom, who sent him to his room to sleep it off. That part appears to be true, according to a police report filed in the Henry County Sheriff's Office. But the rest of the story—that a shotgun happened to be tilted in a gun case and, upon coming out of his room, Richard was asked by his mom to straighten it, causing it to fire accidentally—appears to be apocryphal. According to the report: "Mrs. Norris was standing in the doorway of Richard's bedroom; fussing at Richard about him wanting to go out again. Richard took a shotgun from his gun cabinet and told Mrs. Norris that he would just shoot himself. When Richard racked a shell into the shotgun's chamber, the gun fired.... There was what appeared to be human flesh, bone, and teeth on all four walls in Richard's bedroom." Mrs. Norris told police, "Richard's face exploded.'"

    Wow, what a story. Not too sure about this guy though. I understand that he went through hell but to not do everything he can to avoid rejections is ...... suspicious. Drinking, smoking. Dunno. Maybe he doesn't give a crap figuring he made it this far. Just seems sort of reckless.

    Reckless is what got his face splattered on the wall in the first place. I can't imagine him making it very long.

    I do wonder what the likely hood is of a round going off from the round being chambered, or whether he actually and intentionally pulled the trigger after chambering, or maybe had his finger on the trigger as he chambered the round.
