Matt Barnes, 26, told guests at the Friday night celebration his .45-caliber revolver was not loaded, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office. He pulled the trigger around 10:30 p.m., authorities said, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Just a thought, but (assuming you were stupid enough to point a .45 revolver at your face in the first place) wouldn't you be able to tell from that view whether or not there were bullets in the cylinder?
Yes but it would also be the perfect suicide/accidental killing also.
