...you take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have."
I do wonder how much it'd bother me to kill somebody that probably deserved it anyway. On the other hand, he was a petty thief, not an armed robber or a savage rapist. Most likely he was funding a drug habit. Could I actually handle his mother wailing into the TV camera or to the jury about how her son was a "good boy" until he "got mixed up in all those drugs?"
As far as protection is concerned, I repeat: suicidal people shouldn't possess guns for ANY reason. Whether I'm actually currently on a suicide watch is beside the point -- I have a long history of suicide-related incidents, and right now I appear to be rational enough to realize that a gun in my possession would one day lead to my death and that may not be what I want, now or then. You can change your mind in the middle of slitting your wrists. The second you pull that trigger, there's no coming back.
I'm still dizzy, but I double-checked my scalp and I can't find any sign of trauma, like lumps, although there is some throbbing in a couple of places. I had no trouble sleeping last night despite the fact that I knew if I had a serious head injury, I might not wake up -- why? Because I'm WIPED OUT. I can barely make it to the bed anymore before I fall asleep. Wasn't much of a vacation, was it? Anyway, thank you for your advice, compliments and thoughts. At worst, it's probably a slight concussion and I should be fine. I feel better today.
