Is there a safe way for someone to keep a gun in their house when they experience suicidal ideation? (hexbear.net)

Alternatively, should I just focus on getting in shape and get some pepper spray or something?

I would say no and if you do have a gun in your home and are experiencing suicidal ideation, seek out someone you trust to take the gun from you. If you don't know anyone else who can legally own a gun, give them all the functional parts and keep the receiver.

I've held guns for friends like this,and I know people who keep their gun in a friend's safe and have their friend bring it along only when they go to the range together.
