Hi guys,

It's been a while. I've been working hard on the Alamogordo 2ATF. I know I know, no excuses.

My brother in-law who was living with us shot himself in my backyard on Wed morning. He went into my room and took one of my pistols and ended his life. My wife and I where out. I was at work and she had taken the dog to the vet. She got home and found him lying in the fetal position on his side in the yard. She's a wreck.

We are having a fund raiser at AlamoShape on Friday night. All of his other relatives are in Ecuador and are unable to afford to support his funeral or any of the other expenses so we are doing the best we can to cover them. The long story short is we are about $3,000 short of getting Pancho taken back to Ecuador and are asking for any and all help. I do hate to ask but, right now it's my job to make sure that my wife's brother is taken care of because she and her family can't and I'm exhausting all means that I can think of.

Here's the link to the news story so you know I'm not making it up:

That's a picture of the house I just bought. Normally I'd be ok financially for an emergency like this but, I just bought the house 2 weeks ago. Even in this real estate slump homes are still expensive.

Here's the link to the Facebook event that we've set up:

And if you can't make it and would like to help anyway use my paypal link:

and send it to

I appreciate everything guys. I know I've aske for a lot already but, if you could also say a prayer or two for my wife, her brother and his family. They need those more than anything else.

I am so sorry that this happened. I can't imagine what you guys are going through right now. My wife and I want to help, and we will be at the celebration along with my son and his girlfriend. If there is anything else we can do, please let us know.

I appreciate it guys. Especially the prayers.

A lot of her relatives where like "you keep guns in the house!?!?". She told them: "Yes.
They are just a tool. Pancho didn't kill himself just because we had a gun in the house. He would have found another way, it had nothing to do with the guns."

That made me smile.

Jizzle,
I am sorry to hear this. I just got back from vacation and have been out of the loop. I can only imagine what you and your family are going through right now. I will try my best to make it Friday night.
