Guy suicided himself in a local motel. Used cyanide. Bought it online. It worked. The really crazy part is that he had it planned
out for two years; he wanted to leave behind a life insurance payout for his teenage son. The guy wasn’t dying of cancer or
anything, he just wanted to die. So he bought a life insurance policy that covered suicide, waited the two years for that part of
the policy to kick in, and then he killed himself. Sometimes I still wonder how his son felt about all of that.

Many times over the years I dealt with citizens who came to the police front counter and wanted to turn in unwanted guns, or
ammunition, or both. Sometime the ammunition would be 50 years old, or there would be a full 5 gallon bucket of shotgun
shells, or somebody would want us to destroy essentially new and perfectly good assault rifles or handguns.

On rare occasions, somebody would come back for a gun that we had in safekeeping. One time I signed back over to some guy
a large heavy revolver that appeared to have some blood and hair on the business end of it. I didn’t know the history of the gun
until the guy explained his son had used it to kill himself a few months’ earlier. And for some reason he wanted the gun back.
