    Would you ever buy?

    A firearm if you found out it was used in a suicide? For me I have a problem with that for nothing more than how it was used. I know someone who has a family member who wants to sell a handgun that was used in a suicide. Funny it wouldn't bother me if it was used in self defense (if it was ever released back to the owner). How about you guys?

      Depends on the price. Don't blame the gun for the suicide, blame the idiot that offed himself

        Usually the finish is ruined by the blood if it's a blued gun. Cuts the price some.

          It's an inanimate object, so if it was something good or collectible I'd still buy it. If it was a Glock or something dime a dozen probably not unless it was super cheap.

            Would you buy a house that somebody had died in?

            It doesn't bother me. It just adds more history to the item.

              A firearm is neither good or bad. It would not matter to me. I have mil surplus firearms that may have been used to kill people. There is little difference.

                Would you buy a dead man's tools?
                To me, its about the same thing.

                And yes, I would. Its an object - nothing more.

                          Yes, if were anything but a Glock.

                            I would buy it if the price was right, but I wouldn't think about making a penny out of a dead person.

                              Hell yea, I'd also want a copy of the police report with the cereal number linked to the person who offed themselves. That would make a hell of a story for the grand kids.
