Most threads suggest that if you are involved in a self defense shooting, you should be the first to call 911, as it will establish you as the victim. I understand that sometimes it will be physically impossible to call 911 first (i.e. if you are blitz attacked), but in general if you can call 911 first, you should.
This got me thinking. At best, on my smart phone, I would have to find it (fairly easy), hit the emergency button (kinda easy) and then type 9-1-1 on my smart phone with no tactile feedback (well, it vibrates, but unless I'm looking at it I can't be exactly sure of what I hit), and then send. If I want to connect my Bluetooth (which I normally keep bluetooth disabled to conserve battery) I would have additional steps before I am totally hands-free.
I'm looking for ideas that I could use to make this process go quicker. I do not have a second line or a landline, only my cell (which is pretty common nowadays). I don't want to get another line if there are better options, but I do wish I had some sort of tactile feedback.
I think I can solve the bluetooth issue by getting a corded headset, or by turning on the Bluetooth when I go to bed and turning it off when I get up.
