Family is blood. I dont know if you realize this.
I don't care. If my brother did a stupid thing I would have no more sympathy for him than I do for your brother. I would be there for him because he is my brother but I would fully understand that people are going to call what he did stupid. No matter how you slice it he made a stupid decision to illegally carry a firearm, and he made an even stupider decision when he tried to draw it and shot himself. I have no doubt he knew what he was doing and that he knew what he was doing was wrong.
I don't know if you realize this but he just did a great deal of harm to his life and future in regards to his rights and freedom. I just hope he didn't do any harm to everyone else's rights and freedoms. The anti gunners just love people like your brother because they can hold them up as examples why they(the .gov) needs to take away the rights and freedoms of those of us that didn't do anything stupid. Needless to say it rather grinds on those of us that have to spend lots of our time and money chasing these politicians around to be able to keep our Constitutionally Guaranteed rights.
No one points out that there are millions of us that carry and shoot guns everyday, but one stupid act like your brother's gets a great deal of mileage in the press. And does a great deal of harm.
That all being said I hope he fully recovers and only experiences enough pain to really drive home the lesson he needs to learn.
