I'm posting this as a humble man who wishes to share and exchange information and experience on the lifestyle this forum's demographic represents.
My intent by posting this is to generate a serious discussion about our responsibilities as firearms owners as a whole, not regarding ballistics, point of impact, caliber semantics, etc.
On Christmas eve I watched from 8 ft away one of my sons AD into his thigh while he was seated on a couch in a room full of people. As a point of reference, he is without a doubt the smartest man in the room btw, but this still happened. I was standing facing him and everyone in the room had a carry weapon on his person.
At the point of discharge stuff hit the fan like some of you know and many of you don't.
My specific point in this thread is simply to ask you if you are prepared to deal with a firearms related injury/situation? If you aren't you should be. If you aren't this should be your next gun ownership investment.
I was fortunate in that I knew what to do and in what sequence things needed to happen, not from experience but from research, and from this our family was able to make the absolute best of a potentially tragic situation (Thank you Jesus)
I deeply respect and appreciate all the input I get from THR and ask you as my peers to make a commitment to a minimal level of 1st aid training and law enforcement interaction regarding firearms. You owe this to the ones you love.
