So he flew in from out-of-state, gave disposition next day, and magically got a gun bypassing 5-day wait period. Mmmmmm. You don't even need the help of Occam's Razor here.

Also, you can fly with a gun in checked luggage in the US > gave disposition next day TFA mentions his disposition "last week" > magically got a gun bypassing 5-day wait period. This is South Carolina. SC has no waiting period.

  So he got his handgun despite South Carolina's lack of reciprocity with his native Washington state. Same article mentioned disposition next day, so you think he stayed two weeks at the seedy motel? I say he went back home between dispos. So he skated background check after three days of non-response from ATF which automatically allows him to secure his firearm purchase?

NICS typically takes a couple of minutes to process. In SC, like the vast majority of the US, a firearm purchase takes 30 minutes or less.

  Imagine thinking it's normal for him to bring a gun to a deposition meeting.

Occam's razor says you should not multiple entities beyond what is necessary. Our scenario is this: There's a guy in a vehicle. He is holding a gun. He has a gunshot wound. He has been under a lot of stress. Explanation 1: The guy shot himself. Number of entities (people) required: 1 Explanation 2: Someone else shot the guy and staged the scene to look like a suicide. Number of entities (people) required: 2 Occam's razor says suicide is the most likely explanation

  I would agree, except it is not some random average guy in a vehicle. This was a concern citizen, who was a whistleblower against his employer, who had just begun a legal deposition, and there are billions of dollars at stake. So - the scenario possibly just isn't that simple.

  Source on Occam's razor being anything more than a philosophical framework? Kind of silly to even bring that up in this scenario without looking at the possible motivations or lack thereof. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/boeing-whistleblower-warned-family-friend-its-not-suicide-before-death/ar-BB1jWucH https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/boeing-whistleblower-wa...

    None. Did I imply that it’s something else?
