I hope it's not one of them.

Any way to find out if this was an INGOer or not?

Any way to find out if this was an INGOer or not?

I couldn't find his name published anywhere in the news reports as of yet. A fair amount of INGOers have their name listed in their profile, if not in some fashion of their username.

I didn't either, but this source is a little different... I wonder why they spent so much time in the garage. And what do you think they were taking out in bags? :Police: Gun goes off during sale, killing owner | FortWayne.com - Fort Wayne IN

Sounds like there could be more to it, eh?

No doubt a bunch of stuff that they'd prefer the police not find. Call me skeptical, but I'm guessing that there's more to this story than just a dude accidentally shooting himself int he chest.

Yeah, from these parts:

At least a dozen police cars arrived on the scene and officers appeared to spend most of their time in the garage. The shooting, however, took place in the house...

Around two hours after the accident happened, several people could be seen loading bags into a SUV and leaving.

Yeah, from these parts:

'zactly.

I see you are new to INGO. Haven't you heard? The Four Rules are outdated. It's OK to point at gun at yourself because the Four Rules are old and busted.

Horrific incident, thought and prayers for the family.

For the rest of us, the Four Rules will save your life and those around you. Let's listen again to the man that painted the signs:

Good video

Dad/Grandpa/Brother just offed himself in the living room, maybe the family just didn't want to be in the house for awhile.

You'll have to forgive my cynicism...I've lived long enough to become jaded about just about everything.

I'll just go ahead and ask.Who the **** tries to sell a loaded gun?That's like saying "here,I'll give you the chance to shoot me and get your money back".Family or not,I don't tend to really trust people during a gun sale.

That article definitely makes it sound even fishier, and I was skeptical of the original article that I posted.

Simple they found his ..22 ammo stash, good as finding gold.

Seems like there's other forms of insurance fraud to try that don't involve killing yourself.

Insurance fraud isn't the motivation. Its wanting to commit suicide, but still wanting the insurance for your survivors. I have no idea about this particular case, but sometimes when you see crashes where someone just drives into a tree at 100mph + you have to wonder if they weren't punching out on their own terms but still wanting the pay out for the ones they left behind.

 

[Gluemanz28]

So is the gun still for sale?

Ok I'm just kidding but after 54 post somebody had to say it.

Saying prayers for the family.

Interesting.

I think most life insurance policies deny payout if the holder commits suicide within a year or two of the policy issue date. If the guy has signed into a policy within the last couple of years, he could be trying to preserve the payout to his loved ones indeed.

Well at least the purchaser knows the gun works. He won't get gyped on the deal. Terrible way to demonstrate the gun though. Actually a bad deal for the family, and a lesson reiterated for all of us here.

Terrible news-I've seen improper handling all too often even by those who should know better...
