Yeah, I know, but it always rubs me the wrong way, when such an advice
is not accompanied by a bit fat warning.  Practice shows that
desperate people are unlikely to benefit from a loaded gun, but they
only realize that after the gun is fired and it's already too late (if
they are still alive to tell the story).
