Very sad day, he was one of the best. Pretty sorry to think of what a loss this is.

Chris helped vets with PTSD deal with it through the shooting sports.

PTSD doesn't mean someone is bat **** crazy, it usually manifests as depression and chemical dependence.

He may have been, but not all with PTSD are. Having PTSD doesn't equal crazy.

Chris had been volunteering his time to help Marine Corps veterans suffering from PTSD and mentoring them.

Saying all vets with PTSD are crazy is like saying all gun owners are murders.
