Step 1: ND into body. Step 2: ??

So, Horseradish's "don't do this" thread got me thinking, what if that was you?

Lets say you (or some other clown) Negligently discharges a round into you, and you are out on a range (or hunting), relatively remote (as ranges and or hunting lands are want to be).

What plan do you have? (do you even have one?) Do you have gear to deal with this?

[Snowgun]

I carry one of those LA police gear Trauma first aid kits, a couple knives, a flashlight, and a phone on me at all times. The rest will be, lets say, "Improv"

[farmerj]

couple of trauma packs from first aid kits. belt backs up as a tourniquet if needed.

Otherwise it's a known route into the nearest hospital.

Depends if it's a 9mm or smaller keep hunting. If it's a 45 pull a bullet apart and dump the powder in the bullet hole and light it to stop the bleeding, then keep hunting.

I like the way you think.

By first, I assume you mean the part where you return fire into the idiot that shot you, right?

So, if you shoot yourself, do you shoot yourself again in retaliation?

I think that is a great idea for people who "accidentally" shoot themselves. Chlorine in the gene pool.

That said, it is more likely that some OTHER idiot shoots you.

NO, you missed the first time....find someone competent to do it for you .............

[rukwikenuf]

i always wear a belt, always. usually it is a nylon belt (Marine Corps Martial Arts belt, don't laugh) which is perfect for applying a tourniquet. usually i have a flashlight. in my car i have a water-tight container with strike anywhere matches.

and my leatherman has a pair of pliers for removing 45ACP hardball from femurs.









actually, that's to be done in an ER, but it was just my lame attempt at humor on this serious subject

Odds are if you have been shot while hunting, it will be with a large caliber weapon.

You will not have the time to do much of anything about it yourself. The best thing you can do is dial 911 and say "I've been shot" and hope they can get someone there really fast if you are alone. You will in all likelihood be in shock within a minute if not in seconds. Odds are it won't matter how severe the GSW is, you will still go into shock. All the belts, trauma packs, etc. are not going to do you any good. Odds are the bystanders are not going to know what you have or how to use it

The best thing is to hunt/shoot with a buddy (yeah, I know, I don't usually either...) who has some basic first aid skills, and can remain calm while on the phone with 911.

If you want to get all that stuff, go for it, but you are really doing it for someone else, not yourself.
