    If you carry a gun you need a gunshot trauma kit

    In the six minutes before paramedics flooded the site, they had to stanch chest wounds, open injured airways, apply tourniquets and try to calm down victims and the blood-covered bystanders who tried to help.

    I think everyone who prep follows the "When seconds count help is minutes away.

    An excellent article and lesson learned. We train to kill, but we also need to train to save lives as well.

    I listened to deputies being interviewed a few days ago on Fox. They saved some lives. They did well!
    "Real men have always needed to know what time it is so they are at the airfield on time, pumping rounds into savages at the right time, etc. Being able to see such in the dark while light weights were comfy in bed without using a light required luminous material." -Originally Posted by ramairthree
