Did he actually shoot the gun? Did you call the police? You can call the police and let them know what your father tried to do and they can take the gun for safekeeping. Also, your father sounds like he needs mental help if he is possibly contemplating suicide. Good luck! Call the police...they will be able to lead you in the right direction.

I don't think you are safe with taking care of your father. I think you should consider in putting him in a nursing home where he is being watched 24/7. Otherwise, he might try to pull that on you again.
If he is living with you in your home, he should not be allowed to have a gun nearby.
