Is it a good idea to ctb in the ocean (with a gun)?

[AJC]

I've decided that I'm going to finally go through with it. I haven't attempted since 2016 and after failing that time and spending over 70 days in a mental hospital I really don't want to fuck it up again. I also don't want to leave a body behind so I think maybe it might be worthwhile to sail out onto the ocean and shoot myself into the water. I already decided on a gun. I live in SC so it's not hard to get one. A 12 gauge with a 00 Buckshot to the brain stem should be way more than enough to guarantee I don't survive (which should make it even more apparent why I don't want to leave a body). My only problem is, idk how to go about getting onto the ocean. I thought about buying one of those intex inflatable rafts, the like $200 ones and using that but I don't know a lot about boating so I'm not sure of that would even work. I live in Myrtle Beach if that information matters too

Nice choice on the firearm and shells, was reading an old thread where another member used the same

How would you get the inflatable raft out far enough? It's hard to even get something like that out past the wave break line.

Maybe you could try to locate a sandbar somewhere, then you could try to get out there at low tide so you're farther out when it comes back in?

I wonder if you could rent a rowboat or something with an outboard motor? A canoe ?

It will leave a body. The body sinks at first but then later becomes bouant due to accumulated gasses, then eventually sinks again. What the currents will do with it during this process may lead to a horrific discovery by someone or not.

Depends on location, day, weather. I have ocean kayaked all over the world and it all depends...you can definitely find a lot of places to launch from and paddle miles away from shore easily enough, even with an inflatable raft, if that is your desire

There's no way you can fail, point it towards the ear area and dont put the barrel right against the head, leave a tiny gap between the barrel and your head so it can spread out and take more of your brain
